I thought it was the other woman, the one who sustained the minor wound, that was thought to have had the gun. Her wound supposedly looked like a burn wound from the gun discharging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe it wasn't a Cub day game. That's how I remember it. But when I was searching the internet to find confirmation of that fact last night I couldn't come up with anything. Every result I found referenced Gamboa being assaulted by "fans" or White Sox fans." No mention of the Ligues drinking at Wrigle Field during a day game that same afternoon although that's what I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe it wasn't a Cub day game. It was Eric Dybas who attacked umpire Laz Diaz. This is what I wrote for my long history on the Sox relationship with the media: "Mentioning Dybas also brought up another point which left many, even non-conspiratorial individuals wondering what was going on. The following day after the incident both Dybas' girlfriend Kelly Sherwood and his roommate, said on various Chicago radio stations that they were shocked that Dybas was even at a Sox game. Both said he was a diehard dedicated Cub fan who had been drinking heavily at the afternoon Cub game before deciding to go to the Sox game that night. These facts on the individual never seemed to make it into print leaving the impression to many that Dybas was just another "white trash, stupid Sox fan." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 https://www.espn.com/mlb/news/2002/0921/1434838.html Nothing about Ligues drinking at Wrigley. Seems that it was clearly premeditated and telated to problems in his personal life and not merely "the White Sox losing." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
