Sox-Cubs crosstown rivarly: Even the vendors don't like each other

Name calling, fist fights and the like are nothing new at Cubs-White Sox games since interleague play began in the late 1990s. This story comes to us from NBC 5 Chicago.

CHICAGO -- Chicago police used a Taser gun to break up a bloody fight between vendors following the Crosstown Classic Sunday in Wrigleyville.

One of the vendors involved in the fight sold Cubs gear and the other sold White Sox shirts, NBC5 reported.


An officer suffered minor injuries while trying to break up the fight, and that's when the Taser gun was used, police said.

The individual who was the victim of the Taser shot was taken to a local hospital complaining of chest pains.

Three people were taken into custody.

Oh, the White Sox, still with the best record in baseball, took two of three from the Cubs.
