-Police investigating Randall Simon's bullet-riddled SUV
Police are investigating how Pittsburgh Pirate Randall Simon's sport utility vehicle became riddled with bullet holes while the first baseman was on a recent road trip.
Simon left the vehicle with a ball boy who was to get the $50,000 Lincoln Navigator inspected and detailed while Simon was on the team's West Coast road trip that ended Monday, police said.
When Simon returned from the trip, he found the vehicle parked at PNC Park with at least five bullet holes in it.
The ball boy took the vehicle home with him one night and parked it on Fulton Street in the city's Manchester section, an area often wracked by drug activity and violence, police said. The ball boy found the vehicle damaged when he got up the next morning.
Police said Thursday they still don't know who shot the vehicle or why.
