CHICAGO -- Oakland Athletics manager Mark Kotsay remembered sitting alone in the stands as a 5-year-old growing up near Los Angeles and watching his dad Steve pitch in a softball game.
A car pulled up behind left field and someone in the vehicle started shooting. As the bullets sprayed the field, Steve Kotsay sprung into action. A police officer, he tackled his son to protect him.
"It's just the memory I have of being at a baseball -- softball -- game and my dad," Mark Kotsay said. "Things like that happened in my neighborhood."
Mark Kotsay looked back on that memory on Saturday, one day after there was a shooting at Guaranteed Rate Field during Oakland's 12-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox -- raising questions about security at the ballpark and what exactly happened.
