Body found in Edison Field parking lot Posted: Monday October 28, 2002 5:52 AMUpdated: Tuesday October 29, 2002 2:19 AM ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Police believe a man who was found dead near Edison International Field was stabbed at a tailgate party in the stadium's parking lot after Game 7 of the World Series. Investigators followed a trail of blood leading from the south parking lot of the stadium to 27-year-old Leopoldo Bastida, who walked nearly two blocks before collapsing Sunday night, Anaheim police Sgt. Mike Hidalgo said. "A fight apparently broke out in the parking lot and that's where he was stabbed," he said. Bastida, from Garden Grove, apparently fled the parking lot after the fight. He was not wearing a shirt when police found him. "We believe he was on his way to where his car was parked when he collapsed," Hidalgo said. "It's unclear if the altercation was related to the game." There were no suspects and the cause of the fight was unknown, Hidalgo said. The Angels beat the San Francisco Giants 4-1 Sunday night in Game 7. Authorities were asking possible witnesses in the parking lot to come forward. Police reported only sporadic problems following the game, including a few fans who threw bottles at officers in the parking lot outside the stadium's main entrance. Hidalgo said officers made a handful of arrests, including a few who ran onto the field to celebrate after the Angels won the World Series. They were booked for investigation of trespassing, he said.
Small groups of people lit trash fires, and some were seen trying to overturns cars, he said. But police moved in quickly and broke it up, he said.
