CHICAGO, IL. (THECOUNT) — An unidentified Cubs fans has been banned for life from Wrigley Field after flashing an apparent “white power” hand sign during a segment featuring Miami Marlins former outfielder Doug Glanville, now an analyst for NBC Sports Chicago.
“The incident last night is truly disgusting,” Theo Epstein, the team’s president, told reporters on Wednesday. “It gave me shivers to watch that, to see that take place at Wrigley Field.”
Epstein said Wednesday that the team acted quickly to keep the fan away from the ballpark. “We’ve made clear how egregious and unacceptable that behavior is, and there’s no place for it in our society, in baseball and certainly no place in Wrigley Field,” Epstein told EastBayTimes.
Wrigley features Ivy-covered walls and a manual scoreboard which add retro charm to 2nd oldest baseball stadium in the majors.
