In Kansas, you don't steal home plate. Home plate steals you. Which reminds me: why aren't there any laws against stealing bases? Those ballplayers get away with murder. Well, theft, anyway. And, frankly, if they ever catch the guys who took the Jackie Robinson statue, they should use that as their defense.

It's easier to call it a "stolen base" rather than "Moving up a base by running to it during a pitch". Who the hell wants to lead the league in MUABBRTIDAP"?

In Kansas, you don't steal home plate. Home plate steals you. Jackie Robinson, crooning: I left my feet... in Kansas City... Yeah, I know it was Wichita. That just wouldn't work.

Thank you, very much. I'm not Columbo, but they should start with the family of Dick Littlefield. Had Jackie not refused to be traded to the Giants, Littlefield could have been a Dodger. I know it's a 67-year old grudge, but we have to start somewhere.

This has turned into such a calamity. Now Baseball Reference will have to adjust his height from 5'11" to around 5'6". pizzabagel: And they'll have to give him a new nickname like "Stumpy".

Now that all that's left of him are his feet, he's lost those 5'6", which would bring him down to 5 inches. By the way, somebody should check inside those shoes to see if he was heightening.

A thousand or so years from now, someone is going to dig up these shoes and put them on display, the Jackie Robinson version of Venus de Milo.

A thousand or so years from now, someone is going to dig up these shoes and put them on display, the Jackie Robinson version of Venus de Milo. Here's an idea: Take the "Jackie" shoes and attach them to the arm stumps of the Venus de Milo to really blow the minds of future archeologists. Jackie burst inAnd grinning a grin Stuck his shoes on Venus de Milo
Though Venus was nude She'd some attitude And said, "Jackie, that really is vile-o."

Jackie's shoes will be on display, admired by millions. Until someone says "Jackie wore Skechers? I thought those came along later."

How does one burn a metal statue?

How does one burn a metal statue? Too bad. Were it still intact, Kramer could have brought it into his apartment along with statues of Pee Wee Reese and Gil Hodges and recreated Happy Felton's Knothole Gang.

That brings up the question "What became of the cigar store Indian"? We never saw it in his apartment.

That brings up the question "What became of the cigar store Indian"? We never saw it in his apartment. It's sitcom magic. That's why, in "The Odd Couple", Felix all of a sudden had a parrot halfway through the first season. Then the parrot escaped, but came back at the end of the episode. Then we never saw it again.

How does one burn a metal statue? Looks like the plan of the mental giants who took the statue was to cut it up, melt down the pieces enough so they'd be unrecognizable, then sell them for scrap metal.

What the hell is this? "Dodgers"? Where did you get this? Thief: No. It's "Dodge". It's from my grandmother's old Caravan.
