Life-sized bronze sculptures of 12 Negro League players are positioned on the Field of Legends at the Negro Leagues Museum.
There is a movement to add a 13th figure to join the likes of Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson and Buck O’Neil, but this sculpture wouldn’t depict a playing great.
There is no umpire on the field.
A group in Kansas City wants to change that and honor Bob Motley, the ground-breaking Negro Leagues ump.
A fund-raising reception for the sculpture will be held Tuesday at JJ’s Restaurant at 5 p.m., and will feature U.S. Rep.
