Its one thing to have trophies on the stage. To allow them to be "Crowd Surfed" thought is completely disrespectful and inexcusable. Say what you want about Kenny Williams, but he never would have allowed his World Series trophy to be carried around by a bunch of drunken buffoons at a concert.

Quote:
We’re told the hardware won by the Chicago Cubs last fall may be headed for a stint on the disabled list after being damaged by drunken fans who passed it around at the Paradise over the weekend.

In case you missed it, the stellar concert was wrapping up just before 1 a.m. when Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, joined on stage by former Red Sox GM Theo Epstein and a cast of thousands, played Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World.” Suddenly, the Red Sox 2004 World Series trophy and the Cubs 2016 World Series trophy, which had been backstage, were crowd-surfing through the audience.

Problem is, the Commissioner’s Trophy, as MLB’s ultimate prize is called, is fragile. It weighs 30 pounds, but it features 30 little gold-plated flags — one for each MLB team — that apparently can break very easily. We’re told that at least a few of the flags on the Cubs trophy snapped off while it was making its way through the crowd.

The Cubs are above all. They can do whatever they want. They can do no wrong.

Red Sox fans should be pissed off too. But they think they are high and mighty as well, so they probably don't give a shit either.

Thank God Frank doesn't spend any time stewing over what the Cubs do, on or off the field.

I'm assuming the trophy can be repaired...and there are more than one of these trophies...It is not the Stanley Cup. Although...the Stanley Cup is treated with soo much respect...

https://www.google.com/search?q=stanley+cup+damaged&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwi_u9bN5dPTAhWC54MKHZS_CYMQsAQIPQ&biw=1600&bih=760

So they are douchebags for getting drunk, playing music, wrecking a piece of metal,...and raising a about a million bucks for charity??? Got it.

If Andrew Miller were on the team, you would still think Maddon was the best field manager in town

I agree with Frank. They should have used Chris Bosio's body instead.

When you have something you are proud of, you want to show it off and share it with others.

Surely Frank understands this.
