2 men arrested for breaking into Wrigley Field...Kevin Burge?

Junior Griffey · Sep 2, 2013

I can't link because I'm on my phone, but according to ESPN, 2 men from PA, both 25 years old, were arrested for breaking into Wrigley Field and attempting to steal ivy. Names are Kevin Burge and Steven Gudknecht. Is this the one and only Kevin Burge?

As someone who worked for Stadium Operations at Wrigley and frequently was the "fill in" for overnight security when the regular guy called in sick I can tell you this is a fairly regular occurrence. There is one spot in the ball park where the wall is easy to climb and once over that wall you have the run of the place. BUT......they have cameras watching this and many other entry points of the ball park and it is a very rare thing that those who break in don't get caught. Since the ball park is literally closed off and there is nobody in there the police let the police dogs loose and let me tell you, no matter where the culprits are hiding they will be found and it will not be pleasant. I do not know how many drunks who scaled the walls of Wrigley have left in an ambulance because of the injuries inflicted by a police dog.

I could tell hundreds of stories of what I have seen in the ball park but I wont bore the boards with them.

MugShot of Kevin Burge. Mooresville, NC

The real Burge got booked a while back on an unrelated issue, but according to his booking info he's 31, so the ivy thieving Burge doesn't appear to be "THE" Kevin Burge.

There can be only 1!

Lets send all the people named 'Kevin Burge' a sword and copy of Highlander, and hope for the best!

Burge is looking less like Ed Norton these days and more like Gary Busey.

I was kinda thinking he looked a little like Jesse Pinkman.

So is the notorious Kevin Burge still in the card business?
I haven't read anything about his shenanigans on the board in a long time.
