KC, First base coach Tom Gamboa was attacked on national TV yesterday by a father and son duo. While the Chicago first baseman and referee watched in shock, the entire KC bench came to his aide, for what turned out to be a spectacular site.
As they were being placed in the patrol car, the two men threw out any legal defense they may have had by saying, “He flipped us off, he got we he deserved.” Well, they will have no trouble accepting what they deserve from the Illinois penal system then.

Here is a Martha Stewart fashion tip: If you are going to court, don’t hide little baggies of crack cocaine in your braids.
A sixteen year old girl now faces felony possession charges for having 28 rocks of crack cocaine hidden in her hair. A Sheriff’s deputy noticed a baggie “protruding from the back of her hair,” and moved in to investigate. Police are still baffled as to why she was in the court house in the first place. Perhaps she was going where the sinners go. After all, you wont sell too much cocaine in church. Her legal defense seems to be centering around the old “I found it in the bathroom” excuse.
The janitor must have thought they were decorative soaps, and set a dish of crack rocks out for patrons to enjoy.
