         GENE AUTRY MEMORIAL STATUE

         Dedicated April 1, 1998
         The Gene Autry statue is a life-size bronze piece depicting the longtime
         Angels owner, who became a legend in the entertainment industry in a
         career that spanned seven decades. Autry’s first steps toward becoming
         a sports legend came when he took over the ownership of the Los
         Angeles Angels expansion team in 1960, a position he held for over
         three decades.
         At the base of the statue lay five of Autry’s replica stars from the
         Hollywood Walk of Fame. The statue is placed in the Angel Stadium
         perimeter plaza, located just inside Gate 2.

         INSCRIPTION: GENE AUTRY - Founder of California Angels, 1961. His
         uniform number 26 was retired in 1982 by the players.
