The Chicago White Sox have been stuck on a losing streak. But in their last game against the Baltimore Orioles, the team finally scored a victory. It was a tense game, but the powerful duo of Oscar Colas and Jake Burger handled things well. Burger blasted a game-tying two-run home run in the 6th inning that gave the White Sox an advantage. Then Colas came in with a walk-off hit, the first of his career, in the 10th inning that clinched the win. But although the Chicago team played a home game, Guaranteed Rate Field became the scene of an intense brawl among some fans.
Loosened alcohol restrictions have been causing some trouble at games lately but what really caught people’s attention was that security took their sweet time to arrive.

Yet another brawl at a baseball game raises the alcohol question
Getting tipsy at a game during the middle of the day is a sacred American tradition, the sanctity of which cannot be questioned. In fact, so are brawls, even if some question it. However, fighting in an alcohol-induced stupor may not be the best decision. Ever since MLB’s new rules and the pitch clock came into effect, some teams have been experimenting with looser restrictions. The Chicago White Sox is not one of them – the stadium still restricts the sale of alcohol after the 7th inning.?The lack of security that allowed the fight to go on for more than two minutes is also more than concerning for some.
