Here is a recent MLB story from AP:

WICHITA, Kansas (AP) — A rebuilt bronze statue of Jackie Robinson will be welcomed by Little League players and former Major League Baseball all-stars on Monday, just over six months after the original was destroyed by thieves.

The original sculpture of the baseball icon with the bat resting on his shoulder was cut off at the ankles in January, leaving only Robinson’s soccer shoes at McAdams Park in Wichita, Kansas.

An identical statue will return to the park, where about 600 children play in the city’s youth baseball league called League 42, which was founded in 2013 and is named after Robinson’s jersey number with the Brooklyn Dodgers. As a player for the Dodgers in 1947, Robinson broke Major League Baseball’s racial barriers.

According to social media posts from League 42, Major League Baseball representatives and former players, including All-Stars CC Sabathia and Dellin Betances, are expected to join the community on Monday.

The nonprofit received an outpouring of support and hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations after news of the stolen statue shocked the community and spread across the country. Bob Lutz, executive director of League 42, said this year that the donations helped fund the replacement statue, as well as improvements to the plaza where it stands, the nonprofit’s facilities and its programming.

The rebuilt statue is identical to the original because the mold was still functional. It was inaugurated in 2021 and was created by artist John Parsons, a friend of Lutz before he died in 2022.

Five days after her disappearance, firefighters found burned remains of the original statue. A man pleaded guilty and will spend about 15 years in prison, most of that time stemming from a burglary that occurred days after the statue was stolen.

Ricky Alderete was sentenced on Friday to 18 months in prison and ordered to pay $41,500 in restitution for stealing the statue. He said the crime was due to his fentanyl addiction.

The original’s lonely cleats found a new home this year at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri.

Robinson played for the Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro Leagues before joining the Brooklyn Dodgers, paving the way for generations of black American baseball players. He is not only a sports legend, but also a civil rights icon. Robinson died in 1972.
