Weirdest Thing In Chicago Since Disco Night

ESPN just showed a clip that was one of the oddest things I've ever seen in a baseball game. The clip started with a great catch by White Sox rookie Mike Porzio one an extremely high bunt attempt (I originally said one-hopper) to the first base side of the mound. I thought the clip was just that catch, but all of a sudden the camera angle changed to show two-there is no other word for it-hooligans kicking and hitting the Kansas City first base coach, Tom Gamboa, who was lying on the ground in the coach's box. Gamboa does not look like your player-who-just-retired variety of coaches. He's more the Don Zimmer, ready-to-retire-for-good type. It looked like two thugs taking a purse from an old lady. The entire Royals bench cleared and the shirtless urchins were swept up in a wave of powder blue. That's all that they had on Baseball Tonight. Just plain weird.
