  • Bob Stanley fucking LOSER, Buckner is a border line HOF'er, should be in the HOF. Stanley never did shit. Throwing his teammate under the bus. What a pussy, and an asswipe. The game was already TIED because of his wild pitch.

  • This video shows you how irrational some, most, fans are. The game was 3-0 with one out and nobody out. This play did not mean SHIT! It's not like it was 3-2 with the bases loaded, and two out, and on the next pitch the dude smacked a grand slam.

    Blame Alex Gonzalez, blame Kyle Farnsworth, but to blame a fan? LOL! Biggest bucn of shit I've ever seen in my life. Bunch of pussies too. I wonder if Bartman was 6'6 265 if anyne would said, or thrown shit at him.

    SIX people reached for that ball

  • If ever I needed another reason to hope the Cubs never win another World Series, this would be it. Cubs fans are pathetic for the way they treated Bartman. He did what any one of you douchebags would have done in his place. You see a ball coming your way, you don't stop to think "Oh maybe the outfielder has a chance to make the play." You just try to catch the ball yourself. They showed this special on ESPN again last night and it refueled my anger toward Cubs fans. Bartman did not deserve this.

  • How is that (SS) Alex Gonzalez doesn't get grief for his blunder?

  • @JSRFandNarutoGangsta He's the main reason they lost that game. If he turns that double play. Bartman is not a name, and The Cubs probably play The Ynkees in The World Series.

    Nobody blames Farnsworth either. Farnsworth gives up the 3 run double to fucking Mike Mordecai LOL! All he's gotta do is get that out and it's 4-3, not a big deal.

    Also, Baker left Prior in too long. After Pierre singled, Baker should've taken Prior out. Especially after the error. Many mistakes by The Cubs

  • Every Cubs fan that was there should be feeling 100% Guilt everyday of their lives for how they acted. There is no excuse for treating a person that way to where his life has been changed forever. Moises Alou had a hand in that as well and its his fault thanks to his outburst and focusing in on Bartman.

  • The Red Sox pitcher is more to blame for the loss in 1986, not Buckner. I can't believe Schiraldi sat in the locker room and blamed the whole loss on Buckner! E.R.A in the world series: 13.50

  • how F****NG DARE they compare boston's tragedy to the cubs debacle! The cubs could have gotten the next out and then another out and held on in the 9th to win! The red sox, if buckner comes up with that ball and runs to first, the runner is out by 30 feet and all over!!

  • Comment removed

  • Bob Stanley is a douche, notice how quick he was to deflect the blame, keep the heat off him, even though he (and schiraldi) had as much to do with the loss. Way to pass the buck(ner) there Stanley.

  • Buckner is a psychic

  • Sports fans are manchildren.

  • Watching this after my 49ers lost the NFC Championship Game, in large part because of Kyle Williams' two fumbles...watched it in a sports bar with friends...

    Just like Wrigley here, it was as friendly an environment as could be...I was relaxed...

    Just like Wrigley here, it was FULL of angry shouts... including mine...after he fumbled...

    But NO ONE SHOULD SEND THESE GUYS DEATH THREATS.

    Buckner, Bartman, Williams...you can be frustrated, but don't lose sight of the fact, THEY'RE ONLY HUMAN. :/

  • @obiwanobiwan13 and not only that all those three wasn't responsible for the whole game.

  • @obiwanobiwan13 Some sports fans who felt more of these guys, would get emotional. I would cry for them, honestly. It's despicable of how those death threats by other fans geared towards the "scapegoats" that lost the game for the team.

  • the funny thing is no one remembers all the errors teh cubs committed after that incident. they botched a inning ending double play after that....

  • Looking back, I think if Alou didn't explode the way he did, things might've turned out differently

    If Alou had simply shrugged it off like it was nothing and went back to playing ball, the atmosphere wouldn't have been disturbed and people wouldn't have had the feeling of dread that things were going to collapse and have a self fulfilling prophecy

    So all this came from the Alou rant which when things went downhill in the game, the media and other Cub fans focused on Bartman as the scapegoat

  • Buckner, hold your head up. Damn with all of those fanatics. What about Stanley's wild pitch? What about all of the meat that was thrown out there prior to that. You fanatics need to get a life and quit living through others. Yes, I love sports, and I do get pissed off at times, but in the end....it's just a game. No matter how much money it generates. These people have lives. Oh yeah, Bartman, keep hope alive.

  • @chesjack "I love sports, and I do get pissed off at times, but in the end....it's just a game. No matter how much money it generates.".....very true indeed and I agree.

  • I watched this the other day and it just goes to show that the cubs and their fans will never win a world series until they learn how to except responsibility for their own meltdowns and not pin them on irrational things.

  • so much red sox bullshit.

  • Bob Stanley is a cocksucker and a piece of shit for deflecting the blame. What an asshole! If I was Buckner, I woulda punched the fucker after what he said to the reporters. Once it was tied, there's a good chance they woulda lost anyways even if Buckner makes the play due to the massive momentum shift.

  • @snag66 Right you are. The Red Sox lost game 6 the moment the Mets tied it on that wild pitch. Momentum had shifted and the outcome was sealed. The Buckner play was almost irrelevant at that point.

  • The Cubs suck anyway so it wasn't his fault

  • Thanks for putting the whole thing up. When it first aired, I was only able to see the last 20 minutes or so because I was busy with other commitments, but I wanted to see it in its entirety. Any way you could post other 30 for 30 videos in the near future (namely, "June 17, 1994" and "Fab Five")? Thanks.

  • @UnitedBucks09 Fab five is already up there. but i really want to see june 17th again

  • Second geatest comeback Ever!

    hAHA

    2011 Cardinals baby. 11 in 11'

  • @PeeEssThree The Pujols curse, you will never win a WS again. mark my words.

  • @FlashyLifeTV Except Pujols left on his own terms.

    Ruth was traded away against his will.

    Card will be better without him, noone deserves a 10 year contract at 31, the Angels will never win a world series with him. Because they have no firepower around him so he will just be repeatedly walked.

    Mark my words.

  • people need someone to blame, it comforts humans

  • That Poor guy jeez. Some people are just royal assholes...

  • i was at that game and would have been 7 years old. i didn't actually see bartman go for the ball because everyone stood up to see it but i remember everything else perfectly. people were shouting words that i didn't even know at the time haha. beer and food was flying even where i was sitting (third base line). people left their seats to go beat the shit out of bartman haha. i was a scary but fun experience and i will always remember it.

  • See here's my take on this. It wasn't Bartman' fault. He was going for the ball like any other fan would. The person I feel bad for is the camera guy on FOX Sports who filmed Bartman during that play. I understand how all the Cubs fans blamed it all on Bartman for the loss of the series, but I don't think it was why they lost. The Cubs team was frustrated and they couldn't get anything under control and the Marlins captalized on that. Just imagine if Bartman didn't go for the ball.

  • This was the most exciting game iv ever watched on tv, it was even more exciting then the Marlins beating the Yankees in the WS, just something about this game that was so Wierd, Paranormal, and exciting, for Marlin Fans anyway....

  • the crowd shouting asshole caused bad tension which made the Cubs fuck up

  • sports are great but fans suck

  • I remember watching this game I was 14 at the time and I felt so bad for Steve Bartman. Really unfortunate situation that he got caught in.

  • Funny thing is, you claim yourself a world champion but You are the only ones who play it ;)

    And don't fuck with me, because I am World Champion in masturbating while covered in jello listening to nelly furtado songs.

  • sports are the opiate of a declining America. mass immigration is destroying the west.

  • its important to ask bartman for forgiveness, buts its more important to look within on why we got there and how society can break down through pure emotion, leaving reason.

  • its more important to look at our social response that pure emotion took over, and that its more important that how we act in situatuions dont control us by emotion. we cant be led by what we feel and not use reason to help us. people dont look at this when they see this night. they ask bartman for forgiveness or even arrogantly give bartman forgiveness.. its not the point, he is the effect of the cause of human emotion, he is the barrer of the human breakdown.people focus on bartman too much.

  • i think people focus on bartman in this situatuion too much, yes he affected the game weather that was positive or negative isnt the point. Yes the people of that night were in the wrong by the things they said and did to steve as he was at that game. but i think the most important thing people neglect to talk about when they review this night is our social state. how in the world did society break down this bad? no one wants to look at how we got to this point and how we can stay from goin back

  • Marlins were boss that year so dont blame him on the cubs last blame the cubs pitching

  • @morgasmMLG What is really sad is that Chicagoans acted like it was a team of destiny...the Cubs were the 4TH best team in the National League that year, winning only 88 GAMES! Marlins won 91 games, but finished 2nd to the Braves in the NL East...Marlins were a VERY good team and no supposed interference can change that...Chicago, I would say grow up, but you have been like this for the last 20+ years...

  • @Tyrunner0097 are you mentally retarded im agreeing with you dip ass

  • Comment removed

  • Congratulation to the Florida Marlins for winning the 2003 World Series.

  • 8:21 does anyone know who said that?

  • Comment removed

  • @oogieboogiedoogie1 I think Costas knew who it was, but won't say to protect that player's honor...Just my opinion...

  • @Tyrunner0097 yeah your right....i just wanted to know who it was

  • Leave it to ESPN to take a Midwestern event and make it all about Boston!

  • Bartman should be thrilled he didn't do this in Philly, New York, or Boston. They might have actually beat him to death. It amazes me how 9 innings and only one moment in the game can be blamed for a collapse.

  • i blame gedman, that wasnt that wild of a pitch

  • I wish I was at that game. I mean that was a crazy moment in cubs history. I hate the cub fans. We know that I would and everyone would of went after that ball. I don't care if a Hall of Famer was coming towards the sideline. I'm gonna catch that ball

  • Comment removed

  • I'm a Braves fan but I grew up on the Cubs because they were always the daytime game on after I got out of school. I want to see the Cubs win a World Series, hell just win the NL would be awesome but they can't blame this guy for collapsing in Game 6 and playing like crap in Game 7.

  • Can you imagine the craziness/aftermath of the Buckner play if we'd had the internet, Twitter, Facebook, etc. back in 1986???

  • I cant watch this first part on the redsox with out thinking my my dear rangers :(***

  • @TheZoostudio13

    I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING

  • Half the people shouting "asshole" would've done the same thing if they were sitting where Bartman was sitting. This is why I think professional sports exists only so losers can for a couple of hours pretend that they are winners.

  • @merrimac291 ...then why are you watching this?

  • @merrimac291 so everyone who is a sports fan is a loser wanting to win?

  • @forevercuz A large number of them are.  I didn't say all of them.

  • @merrimac291 Winners & losers... what in thee hell are talking about? Generalizing thousands of people,all walks of life represented ? I'm guessin your a "winner" in your own mind . The losers were the Cubs for EPIC collapse period !

  • @merrimac291 It was the umps fault not the Steve's fault is should have been a fan interference.

  • @merrimac291 I completely agree, on the replay you see at least 15 people reach for the ball. And then they flip out on Bartman!

  • If Farnsworth didn't pitch like shit, we wouldn't be having this conversation

  • bahsten fans are fucking idiots

  • i remenber watching this game when i was 12 years old and i was so mad at that guy that i started crying and cursing at the tv. now i look back and i see this fans acted just like me...like a child!!!!

  • game 6 of 86 shows the evil power of the media. the bosox lost game 6 with game 7 still to go. yet they scapegoated buckner unfairly.

  • Who i really feel sorry for here is are the Cubs and their fans because is this how desperate theyve beome that they would blame steve for starting an EIGHT RUN RALLY?! wow.

  • the guy next to him was trying to do the same exact thing. you fags dont know who to blame it on.

  • And guess who Bill Buckner played for from '77 yo '84 before he went to Boston?.....The Cubs are cursed.....

  • @parkman35 And , the game was tied when Buckner made his error. Even if he makes the play it doesn't mean the Sox win....

  • they couldn't get a cubs fan to direct this? you had to turn this into a boston story? they've won TWO championships since then. shame on you.

  • Its amazing how the media has do much control over put the spotlight on one single event that supposedly caused a particular collapse when that moment in time builds up from within. Team sports lose games as a team even if it is true in some nature cause of one ball players misplay.

  • Thanks for posting this....been looking for this

  • We love you in miami steve your welcomed to throw the first ball in R new stadium in 2012

  • There were other people around him trying to catch the ball just like him!

  • Damn this video takes so long to load..

  • 8 years ago today Steve Bartman was like any normal young baseball player/fan who woke up and said "im gonna go to the NLCS game in Wrigley and watch my cubs go to the world series. He had a foul ball coming his way and just like what any other human being would do, he went for it and his life changed.

    If ur gonna say u wouldnt have gone for that ball ask urself this, "its the NLCS and my favorite team is about to go to the world series. Why shouldnt i catch it?"

  • The "Pardon the Interruption" guys did a good job of making asses of themselves when discussing Bartman.

  • Cub fans need to forgive him

  • Bartman had every right to try and catch that ball, I think Moises blew it completely out of proportion, and besides Bartman was no where near game 7, what happen there CUBS fans?

  • Funniest thing is there were two or three other people right there that were all trying to catch it too but it happened to hit him

  • This is a great documentary about mob mentality. The fact that this all took place in a baseball-game setting is almost incidental to that.

  • "I blame Steve Bartman!"

    "I blame Moises Alou!"

    "I blame Mark Prior!"

    "I blame Bernie Mac!"

    "I blame the billy goat!"

    "I blame the black cat!"

    "I blame Leon Durham!"

    Aaah, the joys of being a Cubs fan.

  • @mistamadscientist Why not blame the idiots who run this organization or the fans who pack Wrigley every afternoon even when the team is awful, giving the owners and GM no reason to improve??? Thom Brennaman was right, the Cubs and their fans blame everyone and everything (curses) but themselves for the yearly failure of this team.

  • @WillMatic40 thats a great point! those fans should threaten to boycott games in the future if the team doesnt start winning. thats what I would do. its almost like theyve accepted losing.

  • Blaming the failure of a team/franchise on one guy trying to catch a foul ball is absolutely ridiculous. The Cubs choked, not Bartman. You should be embarassed of yourself if you ever blamed Bartman for the Cubs' failure.

  • he cant catch a break obviously

  • If Steve Bartman was Julius Peppers (Chicago Bears defensive end)...and the rest of the Bears defensive line went to watch the game with him (as did Bartman's friends), this would've never been a story. Every single wuss who picked on Bartman and threw something at him wouldn't have said crap! Bunch of losers!

  • @Smuug this is the dumbest comment ever. If the whole Bears Bears D-line would have went to watch the game with Bartman no one would have picked on him?. Yea and if Julius Peppers played first base for the Red Sox instead of Buckner in '86 no one would have picked on him either. And maybe if Mike Ditka were the coach for the Red Sox in '86 instead of the Bears they would have won! And hey maybe if Walter Payton was playing left field instead of Alou he would have caught the ball!!

  • @maintain1750 Walter Payton? He was dead by then?

  • @maintain1750 u missed my point. The only reason this was a huge story was because Bartman was a scrawny little guy that the fans could pick on. If Bartman was 6'8", about 280 (almost the size of Peppers) and his friends were the same, you would've never heard of this story after the next day.

  • @Smuug I didnt miss anything Smuug I thought it was just a dumb comment and it humored me so I replied back with a dumb comment. And now you follow back with if Brtman was 6'8" and "about" 280 we would have never heard about this. NEWSFLASH BUDDY..you clearly arent a Cubs fan. Doesnt matter what his size was. We have suffered over a century of futility. This still would have been all over the news cause it brings back curse talk and thats great for the media/news. 6'8" 280..knock it off lolol

  • @Smuug hahaha. Yeah. The fans would've been like "To bad you didn't catch the ball Julius. It's ok". I'm in Chicago. That whole thing made me sick.

  • Is it just me or does Bob Costas wear a tupe?

  • Give Steve Bartman a break! Its not his fault the Cubs suck so much cock they havent even won a pennant since 1945. Fuck the Cubs! I hope they never win a World series ever again and fuck their fans for supporting such a sad, pathetic, piece of shit team!!

  • @gutterrat101 Redsox blame their curse on a bad trade that really back fired. Philadelphia had the curse of William Penn a monument. Cubs fans blame a goat. What a load of crap.

  • This is just like what happened in the bottom of the 9th inning in Game 6 of the 1985 World Series between the Royals and the Cardinals.

  • Comment removed

  • @SCARLEMSCARS You are a moron. The Cubs destroyed their season by choking hard themselves. That has nothing to do with one poor guy trying to catch a foul ball, not to mention Alou wouldn't have caught the ball to begin with.

  • When the Cubs win the world series everyone will get off Steve Bartman and he will become the most popular man in Chicago plus he'll throw out the first pitch the next season

  • How does the guy at 10:43 have a cell phone?? Footage can't be of 1986 World Series.

  • @elderlyjr

    There were mobile phones back in the '80s. Back in the '80s yuppies like stock brokers and lawyers had them. They were pretty bulky, expensive, charge didn't last long, and not everybody and their grandmothers had cell phones back then like we do now.

  • One has to wonder what would have happened if the foul ball had gone way into the stands and Alou had had no chance to catch it. It would just have been another foul ball, no one would've cared, they are still up 3-0 with just 5 more outs needed.

    Did not getting that foul ball cost the Cubs a run or a hit or even the chance to get the guy the plate out on the very next pitch? No

    The Cubs let it get to them, they were frustrated and as a result they lost focus on the game.

  • @buc555

    So the Cubs let it get to them, but it did not cost the Cubs a run or a hit, or made an error because of it? You contradict yourself. You don't know what you talkin about

  • Comment removed

  • @janiwan27 You misunderstand. My point was, it didn't not literally cost them anything, so why did they get so worked up about it? Maybe if they hadn't gotten so annoyed about a foul ball, they might not have given up 8 runs.

  • Any fan in the same situation as him would've done the same thing.

    Your team is on the verge of the NL pennant for the first time in your lifetime and now a foul ball is coming your way! You have the chance to get a souvenir from this potentially historic game!

    Who wouldn't want it?

  • I live two hours outside of chicago and i hate fucking cubs fans.Im glad it happen.I hope they never fucking win a world series.They sold out sammy sosa after riding him for YEARS.And then they scapegoated batmen to cover up the fact that theyve been godman choke artist for the list 60 years.If i was bartmen i would have become a sox fan and i would throw out the first pitch every time the cubs play the soxs at comisky.

  • All you northsiders quit crying. Just cuz you've gone 100 years without a World Series, you take out your frustration on one guy? Typical of Cub fan yuppies. Hopefully karma gives you all 100 more years of sucking ass. And Moises Alou isn't good enough to even catch that ball so I don't know what he was thinking. Go Cards! we'll always have ur number cub douches.

  • LOVED his sport, and didnt care about fame or fortune. Yet an angry mob descended upon him and ruined his life. Go fuck yourself chicago.

  • Hey Chicago, yer a bunch of cunts. You got to watch the GREATEST basketball player of ALL TIME for over a DECADE. SIX NBA CHAMPIONSHIPS. SO MANY YEARS OF SUCCESS.

    Maybe not all bulls fans are cubs fans. But I PROMISE there are plenty of cross overs. People from Chitown are like that, I know because my mother was born and raised there, and Ive spent a good deal of time in the city. You fucks crucified one that was NOT one of your own. Why isnt he one of you?  Because he LOVED his team

  • Hello people I'm Steve Bartman

  • Lol...any person who threw a beer or swear word at Bartman is a a fucker LOSER.

    It's a game.Grown men get paid millions and y'all watch.GET A LIFE.Lol

    Ps-fuck the cubbies!!:)

  • @AppleCrisp233 yea he was lucky to escape with his life but it wasnt his fault they lost. no1 shud be killed over a baseball game. if u were at the game u wud hav done the same thing n stuck ur hand out

  • Great upload!

  • Cubs fans suck. Im a yankee and im sure that we wont be that mean. We'll be mad, yes, but we'll get over it the NEXT DAY.

  • @Sephiroth766

    yeah sure. Alright. I'm a yankees fan and even I know that statement is not true.

  • Marvellous series this 30 for 30. Have seen all of the TV episodes and The Senna movie. Thank you for the upload as well. Subscribed in the hope of new uploads when the next episode premiers. :)

  • There's gonna be the Bartman curse on the Cubs. Mark my words they wont win a world series in our lifetime.

  • As a Cubs fan, I've never blamed it on bartman. It was Alex Gonzalez, he's the one who botched what would have been an inning ending double play ball. Instead it was bases loaded and one out, and the Marlins poured it on.

    Why this guy hasn't been crowned by the media as the new Bill Buckner, I have no idea.

  • Why not give Moises Alou hell for not making the play? Silly Cubs fans....

  • Comment removed

  • MANY TRIED TO CATCH IT IF THEY DONT WANT FANS THAT CLOSE DONT PUT SEATS THERE

  • Bartman is remarkable in how he has not cashed in on this financially or for fame. ... I don't know why Gibney has to insert himself in this doc. Very egotistical

  • I love Vin Scully.

  • i hate how ppl tlk shit abt this guy. if you were there at that game you would hav done the same thing. look at the ppl around him they tried to catch the ball too. so get off his dick

  • daem he went to my h.s

  • Cubs fan could blame him all they want but when you look at it, the Cubs themselves blew the game. Also there were more people going after the ball than him.

  • cubs fan...... blaming something else as usual... it's awesome that a fan gets more blame than the actual players, you know, the players are the ones who play the game?

  • People need to think how they act in a crowd. Today people were calling a d-back fan a-hole for catching Prince's homerun, but I yelled at everyone to shut up & talked to the guy, who was just as normal as you or me. Pisses me off how angry people can get about such stupid stuff. If I didnt even know steve and i was at the game, i would have fought every ahole fan that threw beer and threatened him.

  • @tonygunshow19 People are just sick and inconsiderate.

  • I would have tried to catch it too. Hey media, leave Steve alone.

  • Excuse me, but did Steve Bartman fumble that double play ball? Was Bartman any of those 3 pitchers that choked up 8 runs in the 8th inning? Exactly. Now dont get me wrong, I seriously do hope that the Cubs do win a world series sooner rather than later. BUT GET OFF BARTMAN ALREADY!! Just remember, if your reading this, and your a cubs fan, and were sitting in Bartmans seat, YOU WOULDVE DONE THE EXACT SAME THING!!

  • @mistamadscientist Excuse you. One of the White Sox final outs to win the World Series was a foul ball deep in the stands at Houston. No Houston fan interfered with Uribe. All Cubs fans are just simply STUPID LOSERS!

  • @mistamadscientist lemme add another a couple more, he also didnt blow a 3-1 series lead and there was Game 7 but fans signaled the end before it even started.

  • @mistamadscientist The typical cub fan does not know these basic fundamentals of the game, so they will use bartman as an easy scapegoat. Also you forgot that Dusty Baker didnt get off his fat butt while a 23 year old pitcher was a little rattled in the biggest game of his life. Plus, Bartman is a secret agent sent by the south side disguised a typical cubbie fan in glasses, classic cub hat, headphones and turtle neck to throw the game knowing that the cubs would collapse with his "help". lol jk

  • @gotthepanzershreck Hmmm, thats actually a good point. I remember watching that game 8 years ago wondering "ok, Baker, you can go to the bullpen already!" lol. Also I forgot to mention that Bartman didnt choke away the 5-3 lead they had in game 7 either.

  • @mistamadscientist Much love to Bartman, well done. I only wish, i was sitting in that seat....

  • @mistamadscientist

    NO I WOULD HAVE NOT. 

  • @mistamadscientist Best thing I've ever read about this whole situation! Nicely done man!

  • @kwb18 Thanks, its the truth, and had to be said sooner or later.

  • @mistamadscientist well said.

  • @mistamadscientist OH MY GOSH! THANK YOU! My family says this all the time! People just want to play the blame game when something doesn't go their way.

  • @mistamadscientist I agree that it shouldn't be all on Bartman, but he does desrve some of the blame. The most of the blame should go on Dusty for not paying attention to the play, becuase he could've challenged Mike Everitt's call & had it reversed to fan interference. Also, you gotta remember that in baseball, more than other sports, momentum plays a huge factor in every game. Had that play been called an out, there wouldn't have been as much pressure on Gonzalez to get the 3rd out.

  • @bhawksaddict LOL, you never have been able to "challenge a play" in baseball. Right now the only thing that can be reviewed, is a home run. In which the umpires make the decision, whether to review it or not. It's not like football... Also, it was not fan interference. Alou reached into the stands, to get the ball. A fan is allowed to touch the ball at that point. He just can't reach onto the field of play, when the ball is in still in play.

  • Comment removed

  • @mistamadscientist That's not true at all. Myself, along with many people I know have been in that situation, and actually put out there arms to make sure no one interfered with the outfielder. Anybody who has been around baseball, and knows the game well enough would not have done that. However, I do agree with most everything else you said. Even though, I must say.... if Alou catches that ball, they do win that game.

  • Video starts at 0:44

  • I'm a sports fan and i'll get frustrated and upset. But never would I do something like cubs fans and some of the media outlets did to Steve Bartman. They should be embarrassed of how they ruined and changed Bartman's life forever. Amazing how Alex Gonzalez doesn't get any blame. I guess to fans it was easier to blame Bartman.

  • @AHawkins25 You're not Cub fan so one wouldn't expect you to understand.

  • @AHawkins25 the would have one the game, the word series if he didn't interfere.
