Mark Kotsay shares memories after there was a shooting at Guaranteed Rate Field during Oakland’s 12-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Friday.
CHICAGO — Oakland A’s manager Mark Kotsay remembered sitting alone in the stands as a 5-year-old growing up near Los Angeles and watching his dad Steve pitch in a softball game.
Mark Kotsay looked back on that memory on Saturday, one day after there was a shooting at Guaranteed Rate Field during Oakland’s 12-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox — raising questions about security at the ballpark and what exactly happened. The White Sox said they were not aware at first that a woman injured during the game was shot, and that the Chicago Police Department would have stopped play if officers thought it was unsafe to continue.
The injuries were sustained midway up Section 161 in left-center field around the fourth inning, according to Reifert. “It’s kind of like living in south Chicago,” said Rincon, a Cubs fan from the South Side. “You know it’s happening out there. But you still go home.”
