Beergate

Last night, the Cubs played the Phillies at Wrigley Field. I watched the game while playing Quizzo at Urban Saloon--a local restaurant/bar in my Fairmount neighborhood. The game wasn't actually much of one, as the Cubs lost 12-5. But that wasn't the real excitement in the game. In one of the later innings, one of the bleacher bums had had enough: when Phillies player Shane Victorino tracked down a fly ball, someone threw his beer on the center fielder. Victorino caught the ball, but was doused in beer. Security saw a man heckling Victorino, thought he had done this indecent act, and escorted the wrong guy out of the stands! Here's a photo provided by the Tribune:


Booing the other team is one thing; throwing a beer at them is extreme fan interference. First the goat, then Bartman, now this beer-tosser...what's going to happen next at Wrigley?!?!
