KANSAS CITY, Mo. x–11s. Baseball fans are excited about the replacement Jackie Robinson statue in the works. The city of Wichita Kansas will soon receive a replica of the bronze statue destroyed by thieves earlier this year. Emilio Estevez of Miami recently visited the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri, where severed bronze cleats from the original statue found a new home last month.
