Cubs' Theo Epstein: Fan Who Made Racist Gesture Not Welcome at Wrigley Field

Theo Epstein has vehemently denounced the anonymous fan spotted making a racist hand gesture during the broadcast of Tuesday night's Chicago Cubs game against the Miami Marlins at Wrigley Field.

"The incident last night is truly disgusting," the club's president of baseball operations began when speaking with reporters prior to Wednesday night's game, per NBC Chicago. "It gave me shivers to watch that, to see that take place at Wrigley Field. Appropriately, we've made clear how egregious about unacceptable that behavior is, and there's no place for that in society, in baseball and Wrigley Field.
