But it was a stray bullet some kid shot for fun from Coogan's Bluff, the high ground outside the stadium. |
The more shocking part is that not only did play continue and the game finished, but fans fought over the now empty seat.
A photo was published in the paper with the police observing the corpse as the game played on.
It can be found here, but DO NOT click if you are sensitive or don’t wish to see such a thing. https://www.flickr.com/photos/thanat...et/3909877303/
