Chicago Cubs Fans Beat Up Chicago Sox Fan:Eye Damaged Beyond Repair

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Friendly bantering between three Cubs fans and a White Sox fan at a child's birthday party turned nasty, then allegedly erupted into a brutal beating that cost a 32-year-old Gurnee man his right eye.

Sox fan Robert Steele's eye was damaged beyond repair when an attacker wearing steel-toed boots kicked him in the face during the 2-year-old's birthday party, authorities said Tuesday. Steele also suffered a broken nose and fractured orbital bone in the July 19 attack in northwest suburban Huntley, officials said.
