The Chicago Cubs finished a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. Both men are from Chalfont, PA, a municipality about 30 miles north of Philadelphia.
Cubs spokesman Julian Green discussed the incident, telling Sadovi:
“When you have two individuals intent on committing foul play, they are going to find a way...These were just some fans who probably wanted to take a piece of Wrigley Field back home.”
Green indicated that the team will pursue criminal charges against the men. The next court date for Burge and Gudknecht is scheduled for Sept. 26.
