Wichita, Kansas- A completely soulless group of thieves stole an iconic Jackie Robinson statue from a youth baseball park this week, just days before Black History Month, leaving only the bronze shoes behind.

Wichita Police revealed Thursday the unidentified thugs sawed off the sculpture just above Robinson’s shoes and then absconded with the rest of the iconic player’s likeness around midnight on Thursday from McAdams Park in Wichita, Kansas.

“Overnight, @League42ICT Jackie Robinson statue at McAdams Park was stolen. Someone cut it just above Jackie’s shoes and hauled it off in a truck,” the police department wrote. “Our community is devastated.”
