Man apologizes for attacking Royals coach
October 31, 2002
CHICAGO (AP) -- The man who joined his teen-age son in attacking Kansas City Royals coach Tom Gamboa during a game in September apologized in a phone call from jail to a Chicago-area newspaper. ADVERTISEMENT
``I regret what happened,'' 35-year-old William Ligue Jr. said in Thursday's editions of the Daily Southtown. He added that he doesn't remember much from the bizarre episode.
``If I was in my right state of mind, this would never have occurred,'' he said. ``I am so sorry for Mr. Gamboa. I disgraced Chicago and myself. I apologize with my heart.''
Ligue has been jailed since he and his 15-year-old son were arrested Sept. 19 after running onto the field at Comiskey Park and attacking Royals first-base coach Tom Gamboa during the ninth inning of a game against the White Sox. The father and son said Gamboa had made an obscene gesture toward them, but the coach denied provoking them.
A grand jury indicted Ligue on Oct. 11 on three counts of aggravated battery and one count of mob action. He is being held on $200,000 bond and is scheduled to be in court Friday for an arraignment.
His son has pleaded guilty in juvenile court to one charge of aggravated battery and two counts of mob action for striking Gamboa and an off-duty state trooper, who was working security at the game. The teen is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 7.
Ligue's sister, Kimberly Richardson, has said he went into a tailspin after his infant daughter died in May.
``I was going through so much stress,'' Ligue told the newspaper. ``I see on the videotape (that) I was out of my mind. I had to let anger out and it came out that way.''
Ligue also said he wants treatment for drug addiction.
``I have a terrible drug problem I cannot control,'' he said. ``I need help.''
He called the Sept. 19 incident, ``God's way to straighten me out by putting me here.''
Ligue phoned the newspaper, which is published in the south suburb of Tinley Park, from the Cook County Jail. He could not be reached for further comment Thursday, and the jail would not take telephone messages for prisoners.

Drug fueled rages rock.

Everyone is always really sorry when they are standing in front of a Judge watching video tape of their crime.

"and is scheduled to be in court Friday for an arraignment."
I agree. Funny how he calls the newspapger to apologize the day before his arraignment.

He's even more sorry to be spending any time in Cook County Jail, with all the gangbangers and serious criminals. Have fun buddy, getting your bellybutton beat at the drop of a hat! Really seems like a cool Idea now I bet. Maybe you'll even get a Darwin award out of it!

you would have to be on some pretty powerful drugs to even attend a baseball game. even then.... the number of people distraced by wet paint signs on the way to the game is staggering.

"Ligue also said he wants treatment for drug addiction. `I have a terrible drug problem I cannot control,'' he said. ``I need help.'' "
So, is he expecting the Illinois tax payers to fund his rehab expenses? According to some on this board, drugs don't hurt anybody, and if they do, then they just hurt the user, right?
Yet another reason why weed should not be legalized.

wouldn't it have to be relevant to be an example?
i mean 'drugs' is a pretty wide term. lsd is a drug and so is aspirin.
it never said in the article that he was on weed or did i miss something? - meth is more likely to cause that kind of reaction or maybe alcohol.
if i'm in a room with someone who hasn't had a joint in three hours it's not going to even register - if i'm in a room with a smoker that hasn't had a cigarette in 3 hours i'm likely to get my head torn off until they can claw their way out and take that 30 second drag and the inevitable sigh of relief that follows.
don't be a simpleton. they're already plenty of them.

MJ will be legalized in time. The MJ laws are being ignored for medical use, the Fed Gov looks bad busting Aids and Cancer patients buying it. Handcuffed a guy in a wheel chair, probably dying from Aids(more money to the DEA and less to Aids research)
at that last "raid". Leisure users are in abundance. As long as the Gov wants to have a prohibition, then they might as well be in bed with the drug lords.
That guy's rage was there long before drugs got him that day. He is stil in denial..it was the drugs that made me do it. Losing a infant daughter and not coming to terms is the trigger for probably a wasted life to explode. Drugs just made is easier.
Dopers dont usually look for a fight:D
Cancer Patients usually don't have the strength.
It is easy to go thru life seeing everthing in black and white. Keeps you from having to think.

LOL, Maybe he should have been stoned on weed. Chances are he wouldn't of did what he did had he been. Could of been alcohol or speed that 'pushed' him over the edge.
Maybe this case could point out how weed should be legalized. ;)
