Man sent to jail for running on field

Chicago — One of three men charged with trespassing for rushing onto the field during a White Sox game was sentenced Friday to 60 days in jail and fined $1,000. A fourth man is accused of attacking umpire Laz Diaz on April 15.

Sentenced Friday was 25-year-old Jeffrey Adams, who last month pleaded guilty to misdemeanor criminal trespass. Cook County Judge Colleen Sheehan’s two-month sentence also included a drug and alcohol evaluation requirement, prosecutors said.

“We’re pleased with the sentence, and we hope it sends a clear message that these kinds of acts will not be tolerated,” said Tom Stanton, spokesman for the Cook County state’s attorney’s office.

Albert Skutnik, 25, previously was sentenced to 30 days in jail with 120 days of community service, and fined $500. Sheehan stayed the jail term until February. Skutnik’s brother, Tom, 21, faces trial Sept. 24.

The suspensions were set to start Friday night when the Cubs played at Milwaukee. Alfonseca was penalized for making contact with Klemm while Alou and Lopez were disciplined for arguing.

Alfonseca appealed, and can continue to play until the appeal process is complete.

Alfonseca, Lopez and Alou were all fined undisclosed amounts by Bob Watson, vice president of on-field operations for Major League Baseball.

Wells sues man who punched him

New York — Yankees pitcher David Wells filed a lawsuit Friday against the man who was convicted of punching him in a Manhattan diner a year ago.

Wells’ suit, filed in Manhattan’s State Supreme Court, stems from a dispute with Rocco Graziosa in Gracie’s Diner on Sept. 7, 2002.

Wells’ court papers, which ask for unspecified monetary damages, allege that Graziosa “assaulted (Wells) by drawing a knife and swinging it back and forth in the direction of (Wells), and punched (Wells) in the face with a closed fist.”

At Graziosa’s criminal trial, Wells, 40, testified that the “sucker punch” knocked out two teeth and caused him to cut his head on a table’s edge as he tumbled to the floor.
