Biggio's wife slapped by fan in Chicago.
Daaaamn. I would have expected something like that in Yankee Stadium or Fenway during a Yankees/Red Sox series, not in Chicago. That's just fucking lame. I'd hate on Chicago for it, but really, every team has a few fans like that.
It was a man who did it too. I'm not really a believer in that sort of thing - I can't see why a man hitting a woman is any worse, theoretically, than any other gender combination, because violence is violence and it depends on the situation - but the idea of getting hit by a strange man is much creepier than getting hit by a strange woman.
My favorite parts:
"He slapped her and ran," Biggio said of the fan who struck his wife, Patty. "She ran after him. My brother-in-law ended up putting him against the wall. That's pretty sorry [. . .] You don't slap a New Jersey girl and get away with it." Okay, I think Patty Biggio is my favorite baseball wife. That's awesome.
"I know the security in Chicago is doing a great job," Guillen said. "And when something happens so quick, you can't blame anybody. And the guy that did it, he should be brought to Biggio, and he's the one that can hopefully get him back. I told the police, 'Don't put him in jail. Bring him to me in the dugout.'" Now that is scary. Jail or angry Ozzie? Let me think.

Heh, you need to think about it? :-P
What a jackass, that guy. And he was pulling her hair beforehand? What is he, five?
