The shirtless man who stormed the field at Comiskey Park and attacked a coach has apologized, saying he was under the influence of alcohol and five drugs, including cocaine and marijuana.
In an interview with the Daily Southtown, William Ligue said an “inner demon” escaped at a Sox-Kansas City Royals game Sept. 19. He and his 15-year-old punched Royals first base coach Tom Gamboa, leaving him bruised and bloodied.
Kansas City players immediately broke up the attack. As police escorted the two men off the field, Ligue, 35, sneered wildly at the television cameras, prompting national notoriety.
Gamboa, 54, is still suffering partial hearing loss due to the incident.
