Fun and Games Until Someone Loses an Eye

A White Sox fan gets beat up and loses an eye at the hands of three Cub fans.

It happened at a Sesame Street-themed birthday party


Yes, alcohol was involved.

"Alcohol definitely played a role in the fight," he said. "It's definitely a weird situation."

The taunting got worse and more personal as the men drank, escalating into a physical fight that involved all four men, Bieze said.

It's worth going to the link to see the mugshots.

Now, Cubs Nation is not generally not known for violence. Yes, I can show you examples.
But my run-ins with the Chads and Trixies at Wrigley typically have no baseball knowledge beyond the past six weeks of the Cubs, filling in a dilapidated urine soaked outdoor beer garden getting so drunk they can't remember the final score and then preening about the "ambiance" of Wrigley and preposterously calling it the "Sistine Chapel of Baseball".

Annoying to the 10x degree, yes. But violent? Not so much.
