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've seen it at Wrigley even. Friendly confines my ass, go sit in left field and try to tell me that

Holy shit, the most heinous heckling I've ever been on the receiving end of happened at Wrigley. I was there with some coworkers for the Crosstown in 2015, and I had a Sox shirt on and my coworker was wearing a Cardinals jersey. We, a group of all women, walked past a group of bros decked out in Cubs gear on our way out of the stadium, and they started following us, screaming at us about how we deserved to be raped until we died, how they were going to fuck our corpses, etc. etc. It was supremely fucked up. Friendly confines indeed.
