...with violence, from Ty Cobb barreling into second base with spikes flying to crowds storming the field. Still, fans pretty much calmed down until fairly recent times. In a 2002 game between the Chicago White Sox and the Kansas City Royals, a father-son combo leaped out of the Comiskey Park stands and for no apparent reason attacked Kansas City first-base coach Tom Gamboa. This year, another fan at Comiskey tried to tackle umpire Laz Diaz. "There is no question--you can ask any coach on any team, they would concur--that the anger in the voice of this...

In a move rarely expected outside Yankee Stadium, two men in the stands at Chicago's Comiskey Park charged the field during the top of the ninth inning and attacked Tom Gamboa, first-base coach of the visiting Kansas City Royals, and began beating him. The Royals immediately cleared the bench and piled on the two men, identified as WILLIAM LIGUE JR., 34, and his 15-year-old son.
