An unnerving scene unfolded during Thursday night’s rain delay at Wrigley Field, a fan laying on the warning track in right-center, being placed on a stretcher and getting carted off through a side gate.
This occurred around 7:15 p.m., while the Cubs and Atlanta Braves waited out the storm before a makeup game. Cubs pitching coach Chris Bosio and outfielder Albert Almora Jr. walked out from the dugout and across the empty field to see what happened, joining a group of stadium personnel.
By 9:04 p.m. — or 24 minutes after first pitch — a team spokesman emailed a 60-word statement to a reporter:
“Prior to tonight’s game, a fan was injured after attempting to jump onto the field from the Wrigley Field bleachers. The fan was taken by paramedics to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.
“We are unable to provide further comment on his condition at this time. We will remain in contact with the fan’s family to stay updated on his progress.”
