The League 42 youth baseball league plans to unveil a replacement statue of Robinson crafted from the original mold Monday at a park in Wichita, Kansas. The city was shocked when the statue was cut from its base in January, leaving only the statue’s feet behind. He was sentenced to 18 months and ordered to pay $41,500 restitution for stealing the statue. The bronze cleats that were left behind when the original statue was stolen are now on display at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri. The cleat remains of the bronze Jackie Robinson statue in Wichita, Kan., Jan. 25, 2024.
