A statue of baseball legend Jackie Robinson that was found dismantled and vandalized has been replaced at the Kansas park where it was stolen.The life-size copper statue went missing in January from a baseball complex inside McAdams Park in Wichita, and was found days later burned beyond repair. In response, League 42, a nonprofit organization that brings little league baseball to some 600 children at the park, started a GoFundMe to raise money for a replacement.
It's a challenge, for sure, because there are not many like Jackie throughout human history. His enormous strength, courage and perseverance are uncommon traits for man, at least to the degree Jackie possessed them. What a great role model.
