Harry Caray Statue Vandalized With 'Sox' Graffiti
It's been a rough couple of months for the Harry Caray statue that sits outside Wrigley Field. First it was moved to a different location in favor of a Billy Williams statue, over the course of the move it was damaged.
Now, the statue that sits in its new location on the corner of Sheffield and Waveland has been vandalized.
Cubs spokesman Peter Chase says most of the white spray paint that appeared on Sunday has been removed. The graffiti said "Sox" and a second, illegible word. Chase says the team is trying to find out any details about the defacement.
It's not the first time the bronze statue has been vandalized. Chicago police removed a dead goat carcass found hanging around it in October 2007.
The statue previously was at Sheffield Avenue and Addison Street. But it was moved to make room for a new statue of Cubs Hall of Famer Billy Williams. Now the Harry Caray statue is outside the entrance to Wrigley Field's bleachers. It was rededicated at the spot in September.
