you it is worth locked out here in beautiful sunny Culver City Calif was
from the lot a baseball news going on but i wanna go to Coney Island
in New York right now the iconic
statue that involves Pee Wee Reese
and Jackie Robinson was put up in 2005 it is
as I said iconic but it is just it
it is the what are the biggest moments if not the biggest moment
an professional baseball when against the Reds
in I believe 1947 Jackie Robinson received
a rain a *** and it was receiving death threats at the time and
basically Pee Wee Reese heard everything
that was going on with with the crowd one over to Jackie Robinson
and just simply put his arm over his shoulder
as if to say you are my teammate and you are a person just like I am
so they put up the statue in Coney Island now what happened to the statue
is horrible between what police believe
midnight and 6 a.m. you see the pictures right here
here's what some %uh the I vigilantes wrote on the statue
with black marker they wrote how Hitler Heil Hitler
their racial slurs and even wrote a swastika
now they even as I said wrote hitler they also said *** Jackie Robinson and
all
and words and Diane word except that
he already died so you're not really even proving anything he died in
a 1990 so congratz to you you *** ***
many people who were I'll who saw the Statue first-hand obviously
they put a garbage bag around it they have since clean the statue
and it is now fine however a wanna the
senators at the York had this to say senator Charles Schumer
he said in a statement defacing the Jackie Robinson statue is a dagger in
the heart to
everything america stands for and I hope those who are responsible are caught
punished and talk why what they did is so disgusting
an offensive police are also calling this a hate crime
here's a big thing security cameras are all around the ballpark right
they're all around just in case anything happens the one place where they do not
have cameras
are pointed right directly towards that statue quo whoever
did this unless they fess up I hate to say it
they're probably gonna get away with it it's incredibly unfortunate
a greats at you again put up in 2005 appear is putting his arm over Jackie
Robinson
is probably a the people that did this
are probably gonna get away with it now police want your help they're gonna give
a at ten thousand dollar reward you know anything dial 1 800
