CHICAGO -- The man who may have thrown the beer at Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino during a game Wednesday at Wrigley Field turned himself in to police on Thursday.
"We are talking to someone who has turned himself in," Chicago Police Department news affair officer John Mirabelli said Thursday evening. "Our investigation is continuing."
Victorino filed a report for simple battery after the incident.
"I just think he should be held accountable, that's it, nothing more than that," Victorino said before the Phillies played the Chicago Cubs on Thursday afternoon. "... But it is what it is. It's not like the first time I've seen it happen [at a ballpark]."
Cubs chairman Crane Kenney apologized in person to Victorino before the series finale. Cubs manager Lou Piniella and general manager Jim Hendry also offered apologies.
"That really ticked me off, to be honest with you," Hendry said Thursday on "The Waddle & Silvy" show on ESPN 1000. "There's no place for it. The Phillies are a good ballclub, and Shane's an outstanding player. It wouldn't matter who it is.
"You're risking a very dangerous thing here, if the beer splatters in his face and he misjudges that ball and it hits him in the head and broke his nose.
"It doesn't speak well for that man's behavior," Hendry continued. "We have great fans who come to the ballpark every day with a lot of enthusiasm, but something like that is inexcusable. We let [Phillies manager] Charlie Manuel and Shane know after the game we didn't think that was appropriate and certainly would look into pursuing whatever you could to sanction that kind of behavior for that young man in the future."
