Two people allegedly stole a statue of baseball legend and American civil rights icon Jackie Robinson from a public park in Wichita, Kansas, Thursday morning. The statue was snatched from McAdams Park. “I’m frustrated by the actions of those individuals who had the audacity to take the statue of Jackie Robinson from a park where kids and families in our community gather to learn the history of Jackie Robinson, an American icon, and play the game of baseball,” Wichita Police Chief Joe Sullivan said during a news conference Friday. “So, again, like the chief and the (district attorney) said, if you’ve got that statue, bring it here today. In the majors, Robinson hit .313, won an MVP in 1949 and was named an All-Star six times.
