Grady 696-9113 SPORTS 9 THE BATTALION Friday, November 8, 2002 Royals coach accepts apology from teen CHICAGO (AP) — Kansas City Royals coach Tom Gamboa said he accepts the apology of a 15-year-old fan who attacked him on the field during a game and hopes the boy leams from his “tragic mistake.” Gamboa said Thursday he would like to see the boy receive probation and community ser vice because he was already held for a month in juvenile detention after the September attack at Comiskey Park. “I can’t see a 15-or 16-year- old kid being thrown down the drain for making a tragic mis take,” Gamboa said while tes tifying at the teen’s sentencing hearing. Gamboa, himself a father of five, added afterward: “I sure hope he turns out OK.” The boy apologized to Gamboa during the start of the hearing in juvenile court. The hearing will resume Friday. “Being incarcerated has made me realize how stupid my actions were,” said the boy, whose name is being withheld because of his age. The boy was released to his family last month after pleading guilty Oct. 21 to one count of aggravated battery and two counts of mob action in the Sept. 19 attack during a game against the Chicago White Sox. Gamboa was coaching at first base when it occurred. The boy’s father, William Ligue Jr., 35, also was charged. He has pleaded innocent to three felony counts of aggravat ed battery and one felony count of mob action. Ligue has been in custody at Cook County Jail since the attack and on Thursday a judge agreed to reduce his bail to $10,000 from $200,000, said Jeny Lawrence, a spokesman with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office. A spokesman for the Cook County Sheriff’s Office said Ligue had not posted bond by late afternoon. In his apology, the boy told the court Gamboa did nothing to pro voke the attack. Following their arrests, the father and son, both shirtless, con tended Gamboa had made an obscene gesture. Gamboa said he was glad the boy’s apology made it clear he had done nothing to antagonize them. “That’s just not a part of who I am,” Gamboa said. The coach talked about the attack that he said “felt like I got hit by a truck.” His head hit the ground so hard, he said that he temporarily lost his hearing. He also suffered cuts and bruises. Gamboa, now the Royals’ bullpen coach, said he hopes this incident is a wake-up call for the teen. “I hope this is the fork in the road that prompts him to go the right way,” Gamboa said. SPORTS IN BRIEF A&M advances in Big 12 Tournament play The Texas A&M soccer team advanced in the first round of the Big 12 Conference Tournament on Thursday by defeating the Oklahoma State Cowgirls, 5-0. Five different Aggies scored in the game and the team will play Colorado on Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the semifinals of the tournament. The win extended A&M’s unbeaten streak to 15 games and extended their Big 12 winning streak to 19 matches. “We were very efficient in our play and we were able to give some of our players a rest,” said A&M head coach G. Guerrieri. Affirmative m SOUND RECORDINGS Full Service Studio Featuring Monthly Music Business Seminars by Mark Gooden, MBA - Music Business Emphasis Achieve Your Dreams? Affirmative.
