Baseball player statue at Las Vegas Club

Does anyone know if the baseball player statue perched on the corner of the Las Vegas Club at Main Street is modeled after a real figure in baseball history? He is a lefty but there are no markings on the uniform. I believe the statue was part of the 1980's remodel that famed sign designer Brian Buzz Leming had a hand in. Buzz Leming passed away awhile back.
I have heard it is Joe DiMaggio. However I asked at the Vegas Club and they were not sure but thought is was not any player but just a statue.
Joe D. was a righty.
