February 7, 201115 yr I don't condone this. The statue outside Wrigley Field of legendary Chicago Cubs broadcaster Harry Caray has been vandalized. Cubs spokesman Peter Chase says most of the white spray paint that appeared on Sunday has been removed. The graffiti said "Sox" and a second, illegible word. Chase says the team is trying to find out any details about the defacement. It's not the first time the bronze statue has been vandalized. Chicago police removed a dead goat carcass found hanging around it in October 2007.
February 7, 201115 yr No real Sox fan would deface that statue considering his roots with our club as well. Tasteless.
February 7, 201115 yr He was the Sox announcer/biggest supporter for 10 seasons before doing Cubs games for 16 seasons. It has to be some idiot with no clue to Chicago sports history.

February 7, 201115 yr QUOTE (G&T @ Feb 7, 2011 -> 04:54 PM) It looks like a jab at the Sox although no one knows what it says. Almost like they were trying to write something bad about the Sox but got spooked and wrote nothing. Of course Cubs fans will look at it like its a Sox fan doing it and that we took time out of wrenching on our IROC's and snorted some meth and came up en masse to deface their statue.
February 8, 201115 yr A cub fan did it to make us sox fans look like trash. We all know how jealous they are of us. A real ballpark and a world series trophy who could blame them? Besides any defacing of anything Cub can't be all bad.

Next step is hiding some rotten meat somewhere in the stadium. It's like college all over again.
February 8, 201115 yr oh my god do some of these dumb ass sox fans really make the fan base look bad. If they had half a brain they would realize defacing that statue was a terrible idea for one there going to get caught and seeing as the guy started out with the sox and spent a great deal of time here.... My god im only 19 and really have to shake my head at this. Is our generation really that dumb...
February 8, 201115 yr It clearly says Sox Bles. bad speller. Forgot the second 's'. But we do Bless Harry.
February 8, 201115 yr A Cubs fan ripped the bat off of Minoso's statue at Comiskey. Some people are just idiots, regardless of the team they root for.
February 8, 201115 yr QUOTE (T R U @ Feb 7, 2011 -> 09:45 PM) I think its awesome, coulda done without the extra unreadable thing on there.. thats most likely his "pen name". doesnt necessarily have to be a real word.
