Jerry Reinsdorf: Unlikely Shots Came From Inside Guaranteed Rate Field 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Sep 1, 2023 12:11 pm

Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf is pushing back on the possibility that a shooting at Guaranteed Rate Field came from a gun inside the ballpark.

Two women were injured in a shooting during the team\'s 12-4 loss to the Oakland Athletics last week. 

Police are investigating what happened, including whether the gun was fired inside or outside of the facility. Fred Waller, interim superintendent of Chicago Police Department, said Monday that investigators have nearly ruled out the possibility that the shots came from outside the ballpark.

\"I spoke with Superintendent Waller last night, and he authorized me to say that regardless of what anybody has said, up \'til now, they have not ruled out that the shots came from outside the ballpark,\" Reinsdorf said.

\"They\'re still investigating. I don\'t want to get into specific facts while they\'re investigating,\" Reinsdorf continued, \"but we\'ve really done a deep dive into this and I don\'t see any way in the world that the shots could have come from inside the ballpark. But let\'s let the police continue with their investigation.\"

This was an amazing interview. I am now a SOX fan. Jerry is a Chicago treasure. He is the boss. The interview reminded me of Oliver Platt’s character(Uncle) on the Bear!
