Nobody said Kerry smashed the boombox. That was counter to everything ever written on the subject.

Woj, who claims to have been in the room, wrote in his book on the 2004 Cubs that it was "a position player." So you guys are definitely wrong.

Paul Sullivan told me that Kerry and Sammy were friends and that Kerry wouldn't do that. The scuttlebutt he heard was that it was Barrett, which checks out given everything we know about him.

Kap told me it was Wood.  Kap isn't always right.

So everybody was getting this info from Chuck who got it from Kap.

The position player scuttlebutt I heard was Todd Walker.  I'd never heard Barrett.

That's possible. Sullivan couldn't confirm exactly who it was. And if Kap is adamant that he was there and by God it was Wood, then it's his word against Woj's and I really don't care to argue on behalf of either. Except that Woj is about 1/1000th's the penis the Kap is.

Couldn't or wouldn't?  If it's the former, he's a worse goddamn reporter than I thought, unless his view was being blocked by a footstool. 
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

Barrett didn't like Sammy's music, tho. He kept changing the channel to WBBM Newsradio 78.

As much as I hate me some Todd Walker, I don't see him as this fiery asshole that would fly off the handle and do some shit like that. All signs still point to Barrett for me.

For the record, I'm in the anti-smashing boombox camp. You don't fuck with a man's tunes.

It was a dumb thing to do, but so was Sammy walking away from the team that day. They were all assholes. Let's just move on.

I'm not going to lie, I've tossed a CD or two out of a car window on road trips before. But a boombox is sacred thing.

Pretty sure Wood wouldn't do passive-aggressive shit like fucking up guy's radio. Think he'd take it to the stage.

Maybe you do if that man chose the tunes every day for the last 8,000 days and it was always terrible, ear-splitting salsa music.
