CHICAGO - A groundskeeper found a rusted, hollowed-out shell of a grenade in the right-field turf of Chicago's Wrigley Field.
The dud was found Tuesday morning by a worker at the home of the Chicago Cubs. The police's Bomb and Arson investigators were called to examine the device, which they found to be empty and harmless.
"This thing was absolutely nothing more than a piece of scrap metal," police Cmdr. Irene Jones said.
Investigators said there was no way to determine how the device ended up on the field, but added that no break-ins were reported at the ballpark.
"Somebody probably had a few drinks and lobbed it over the wall," Town Hall District Capt. Bill McCorry said.
