player ready...A Chicago man was awarded $475,000 in damages Monday from the Chicago Cubs for a lawsuit stemming from a melee that erupted in the Wrigley Field stands in May 2000.
A Cook County jury sided with Ronald Camacho, 36, in the lawsuit he filed against the Cubs about 10 months after he was mobbed by visiting Los Angeles Dodgers players and arrested for disorderly conduct, said Gregory Adamski, Camacho’s attorney.
The fight broke out after a fan grabbed the cap of Dodgers catcher Chad Kreuter and ran off with it. Kreuter gave chase, and several teammates followed him into the stands.
Camacho made a comment to Kreuter who responded by choking the construction worker, Adamski said.
The lawsuit accused the Cubs of malicious prosecution. Camacho was acquitted in December 2000 of criminal charges in the incident.
