Biggio's wife slapped, Ozzie Guillen challenges a-hole fans

Source: Houston Chronicle

This is another sad case where the minority of White Sox fans are showcased to the nation on account of being ridiculous morons. However, I love Ozzie Guillen more every day.

Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen issued a public apology on behalf of his organization to Astros second baseman Craig Biggio, whose wife was slapped by a fan in the stands at U.S. Cellular Field.

"I feel like it's our fault, and I talked to (Biggio) about it, and he knows we're sorry," Guillen said. "He knows it was something we couldn't control. It wasn't like a fight. (The fan) hit the lady and left."

...

"He slapped her and ran," Biggio said of the fan who struck his wife, Patty. "She ran after him. My brother-in-law ended up putting him against the wall. That's pretty sorry."

Asked if Patty had been hurt, Biggio said his New Jersey-raised wife held her own.

"You don't slap a New Jersey girl and get away with it," he said.

...

Added Guillen: "I wish she would have grabbed something and broken his head."

...

Despite the incident, (Astros manager Phil) Garner said he heard the Astros' traveling party had mostly positive experiences with the fans.

...

Guillen insinuated that he would have definitely defended anybody in the Astros' traveling party.

"I know the security in Chicago is doing a great job," Guillen said. "And when something happens so quick, you can't blame anybody. And the guy that did it, he should be brought to Biggio, and he's the one that can hopefully get him back.

"I told the police, 'Don't put him in jail. Bring him to me in the dugout.'"
