Spring training is just around the corner, but baseball fans in Chicago aren’t waiting around to get their rivalries fired up. There’s no off-season when it comes to hate, and there’s no greater hate than the hate between rival baseball fans in the same town. While the Cubs hate the Cardinals and vice-versa, nobody hates Cubs fans more than Chicago White Sox fans. It is believed that White Sox fans vandalized a statue of Harry Caray outside of Wrigley Field.
According to Cubs spokesman Peter Chase, the graffiti was white paint that read Sox and then some other illegible word. I’ve tried to study it and I have no idea what it means. Either way, it’s graffiti, and it’s white paint, so it’s pretty clear that it’s an anti-Cubs message, not a pro-Cubs message. That’s some tasty Chicago-style hate.
The Caray statue is notorious as the target of vandalism. In 2007, someone hanged the carcass of a dead goat around the statue’s neck, a reference to the Curse of the Billy Goat that has kept the Cubs from winning the World Series for over 100 years.
