man Sentenced in the KC royals attack

CHICAGO (Aug. 6) - The man who led his son in an unprovoked attack on a Kansas City Royals baseball coach during a September game with the Chicago White Sox was ordered Wednesday to undergo drug and alcohol counseling and received 30 months' probation.

William Ligue, 35, who spent two months in jail before pleading guilty to two counts of battery, must also honor a nightly curfew for 90 days and undergo counseling, although Cook County Court Judge Leo Holt did not order him banned from baseball parks as prosecutors had requested.

Ligue appeared clean-cut compared with the wild-eyed, shirtless man who leaped from the stands with his teen-age son to attack Royals' first base coach Tom Gamboa from behind and pummel him. Royals players poured out of their dugout to defend the coach and landed a few blows on the father and son, leaving Ligue bloodied.

Gamboa suffered hearing damage in one ear.

Ligue has said he was inebriated at the time and motivated by a desire to get on television. His son was previously sentenced to five years' probation and 30 hours of community service.

The incident was followed by dozens of less violent incidents at ballparks and prompted increased attention to security at sports stadiums.
