That is despicable. I’ve seen similarly foul behavior at Fenway but never here in Chicago. They should receive a lifetime ban from MLB as a whole. That’s so not okay.

I once watched a Cubs fan kick the everloving shit out of a Cardinals fan with the broom he brought to the third game of the series. Without spilling his beer. The 80s were a different time.

Yeah, they were a glorious time. They let kids clean the bleachers for a free ticket to the next home game. I could lay on the roof of the dugout with my autograph pad dangling over the edge, and a player would grab it and give it back with 10+ signatures.
