Man, 26, shot dead outside Wrigley (Field)

CHICAGO -- A 26-year-old man was gunned down in the street near Wrigley Field after watching the Cubs play on Thursday.


Frank Hernandez was shot about 90 minutes after the Cubs beat the Diamondbacks 11-3.


Authorities say the incident started when Hernandez was cut off by two men in a SUV as he was crossing an intersection near Wrigley at about 6 p.m.


Police say Hernandez hit the SUV with a miniature baseball bat and then broke the souvenir over the driver's head when the driver got out of the vehicle. Police say that's when the SUV's passenger got out and shot Hernandez in the upper abdomen.

Funny, alot more interest by Chicago DUers in random senseless violence outside a baseball stadium than in Vendooza (XNASA's band). Kinda makes you wonder......

the quality of the human gene pool increased by one billionth of a percent today...

And the helicopters were circling the neighborhood for about an hour last night. It was kinda crazy. Now Wrigleyville is going to have "street cred."

doubt that Bartman would get near Wrigley again.

...and neither is the 'gene pool' remark.

have been going on about this all morning..dam good job of it pointing out the tribune`s "failures" in the problems around the ballpark this year..if this would have happened on the southside all hell would break loose and the tribune would be all over it for a week.. oh by the way-ozzie is the best manager in chicago right now and the sox are playing "fung" baseball.......

I can't blame Hernandez for striking back. Those fucking animals in their gas guzzler cut him off. (It's illegal in Minnesota to keep going when you see people walking the crosswalk, you're supposed to stop.)

This is all very sad.

I am assuming Mr. Hernandez had the right of way in that intersection.

While MN laws target drivers, I also have to say that pedestrians take full advantage of their special rights. Often they will jaywalk, stare at you as they do so, having no consideration whatsoever.

I think there needs to be some reform and people educated on the concept of society and politeness.

Other countries with cars don't have these problems. What's the difference? They're civilized. In America, we cherish money. Not people. Heck, we cherish money at the cost of people. No wonder people openly disobey traffic laws, amongst many other laws.

Always a new low.
