Let's step in the way-back machine to the Summer of '08 and the story about a Cubs fan - Jaroslaw Czapla - who beat up a White Sox fan at a two-year-old's birthday party. But it was just any White Sox fan. No, it was his brother-in-law. And the beating was so bad his brother-in-law lost an eye. High class stuff. A year and a half later, Cazpla has pleaded guilty to felony mob action which will land him behind bars for six months plus two years probation and a $500 fine. But the case isn't over yet. There were two other men involved, including Jaroslaw's brother Boguslaw Czapla, against whom charges are still pending. The third man involved - Maciej Trojnar - has been on the run since the incident occurred. [ABC 7, Daily Herald]
