Stolen bust of George Brett found on roadside
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) -- A bronze bust of former Kansas City Royals third baseman George Brett was found in a roadside box Friday after it was stolen this week from the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame. Brett had 3,154 hits and batted .305 during a 21-year career with Kansas City. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999.
An unidentified person found the box in a ditch near the Lake of the Ozarks community of Camdenton and called Camden County sheriff's deputies, the sheriff's office said. "We are very pleased to be getting it back," Hall of Fame operations director Marty Willadsen said Friday.
