Gurnee Sox fan loses eye in brawl

Three Chicago Cubs fans could spend up to five years in prison if found guilty of beating up a Gurnee White Sox fan so badly that he lost his right eye. Robert Steele, 32, of the 1800 block of Wedgewood Drive was at a birthday party for his fiancée's 2-year-old niece on July 19 in Huntley when three of his friends reportedly started teasing Steele about the Cubs-Sox rivalry. That evening the argument escalated, and Steele was pushed to the ground and kicked several times. (link)
