Man who attacked coach during White Sox game gets prison term

CHICAGO (AP) - The man who attacked Kansas City Royals coach Tom Gamboa during a game has been sentenced to almost five years in prison for a probation violation.
Cook County Court Associate Judge Joseph M. Claps ruled Friday that William Ligue Jr. violated probation when he was charged in April 2004 with breaking into a car in suburban Harvey and leading police on a brief chase. Claps increased Ligue's sentence to 57 months in prison.
"Despite what (the original judge) decided to do in the case - to give him a chance, he ignored that chance,'' Claps said.
Ligue was originally sentenced to 30 months of probation for two counts of aggravated battery in the September 2002 attack on Gamboa during a Chicago White Sox game at U.S. Cellular Field.
Ligue and his 15-year-old son beat the first base coach, resulting in a loss of hearing for Gamboa. Ligue's son was sentenced to five years' probation.
Assistant public defender Ed Ptacek said he planned to appeal the ruling.
Ligue's trial on the burglary charge is scheduled to begin Tuesday.
I remember those guys. .....looked like speed freaks, about 40 lbs underweight.
Typical White Sox fan...
Nothing out of the ordinary...
White Trash,
White Trash,
Whatcha Gonna Do?
Whatcha Gonna Do When They Come For You?
White trash family share activities together.
On a more serious note, I did see Jose Conseco (then with the Oakland A;s) hit his 100th career homer at old Cominsky. It hit the top facade in center field and was still rising. Absolutely crushed. This was the young, pre-roid Jose. Also dropped a ball in the outfield and missed the cutoff man twice, if I recall correctly.
I overheard a guy who looked like that once bitching about his teenage son getting into his stash. They're out there.
William Ligue Jr.
White trash scumbag.These genetic missfires need to be purged from society.
Good grief,how many more of these do you have out there?
Nothing like a day game at Wrigley Field and a night at Roscoe's.
Those are the straightest Cub fans I've seen in a long time.
I was trying to keep it clean. No need to post photos from Boystown around the corner.
Genetic misfire. LOL!
I hope that's not you in the picture. LOL!
Stop it. You're killing me!!!
