Northam Saint said:Poor guy ! There were plenty of hands up for that ball, he just managed to be in the wrong place and get the blame. The fielder was never going to catch it too.
Yeah, now that guy was a true victim of circumstances. You're right, the fielder (much) later admitted he wasn't gonna catch the ball anyway.
Years later, the famous 'Bartman Ball' was blowed up reeeeal good at a local bar. Heh, another attempt to break the Cubs long curse of winless World Series. Hell, they haven't even played in a World Series game in 67 years, let alone win the whole thing.
You gotta have some masochist in you in order to be a Cubs fan,
