I see they did find the statue but I guess people have to much time on their hands.

From what has been reported so far, it seems to be some druggies that thought they could steal it, melt it down , and sell it for scrap.
Seen dumber things done by druggies.

What a shame. When he first started with the Brooklyn Dodgers, some of the team refused to have their photo taken if he was in it because he was the only black person on the team. Very sad. In the end he proved them all wrong. He was a great player.


Most in this country have things people in other countries only dream about. Yet, they want America to be more like those other countries.

Not all the Dodger players resented having Jackie Robinson on the team. He eventually become great friends with some of them. Probably the most notable was the Dodger captain and shortstop, PeeWee Reese.

While Gary's comment tickled my deep-seated evil sense of humor, this act perpetrated by idiots makes me sick.
What Jackie Robinson was forced to endure while letting it all roll off his back and succeed in Major League baseball should make him a National Hero to anyone who has two brain cells to rub together.

He was one of the greatest, and I agree that he is a great reminder to not worry about what other people think of you and just do your best.
