Alou a ho for being a cry baby about that
He came out later and said that he couldn't have caught the ball regardless (which is probably bullshyt), but it was too late by then. Typical of a team that is born to lose to blame their failures on Bartman. Nevermind the fact that Alex Gonzalez booted a routine double play ball...off the bat of a young Miguel Cabrera...that enabled that inning to continue. Nevermind the fact they had Mark Prior pitching that game, and Kerry Wood pitching Game 7 (and for those that didn't follow then, Prior was on the road to being the best pitcher in baseball, and Kerry Wood was the second coming of Roger Clemens...of course neither of those things panned out, but they were that good back then). The born-to-lose Chicago Cubs lost that series, not no damn Steve Bartman (though as a lifelong Cub hater, may I wish eternal wealth & happiness upon Mr. Bartman and his family).
I read an article recently about Bartman. He still lives in the Chicago area, keeps to himself, and as stated above, has turned down numerous opportunities to ca$h in on the situation. Just wants to be left alone.
