Nobody on the planet eats more butter than New Zealanders, who consume 26 pounds per person each year. In the United States, however, butter consumption is spread pretty thin - only 4 pounds per year.

Title: The Rocket Man
Location: Enron Field: Crawford between Texas and Congress
Artist: BeverlyHillSmith.com
Sponsor: The Roger Clemens Foundation

Unsure of what to get the baseball lover on your holiday shopping list? Why not the ultimate gift, a Roger Clemens’ sponsored life-size, fiberglass cow sculpture signed by the American League champion Yankees! As part of CowParade Houston 2001, the Houston-based Roger Clemens Foundation sponsored the “Rocket Man” cow that proudly sports the Yankee pinstripes and logo and has been autographed by the entire World Series’ Yankee team. “Rocket Man,” designed by Houston artist Beverly Hill Smith, is anticipated to raise a grand slam amount.
The Roger Clemens Foundation is the realization of a dream that Houstonian Roger Clemens had early in his career to help fulfill the needs, ease the suffering, and encourages and support children from all walks of life. In doing so, he and his wife Debbie continue to be able to give back to their community by sharing a portion of their success through the efforts of the Roger Clemens Foundation.

This remarkable statue can now be yours. So, be part of the fun, and help an incredible cause along the way. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Texas Children’s Hospital Building for Children capital campaign and will help fund the expansion of the Texas Children’s Cancer Center

The Rocket Man was sold in the internet auction hosted by Amazon.com. This special flight ran from December 7 - 18, 2001.
