There are Cubs fans still bragging a decade later how they tried to assault him at the game and were only foiled by security.
You have Scott Turow still blaming him publicly.
The guy had to go into hiding.
Even the baseball in question was bizarrely fetishized.
All in all a very poor showing - though I'm certain you're right, that most people came to their senses after a few days.
The Cubs themselves played a very nice game against a very good team last night.
The Cardinals should be worried.
There are always people making claims. Guarantee 99% of the people who insist they almost got to beat up Bartman weren’t even at the game, heck half of them probably weren’t even in Illinois, probably a quarter weren’t even watching on TV.
Scott Turow talks a lot, it’s his job. And talking calm measured responses doesn’t sell books.
The guy DECIDED to go into hiding.
Sports fetishizes a lot of stuff. Especially baseball. And if you happen to have an FX guy hanging around might as well blow something up.
The noise makers get the press. Nobody interviews the majority of people who move on.
I did see CH. Quite well done. But there are moronic fans of every team. Do you not think the Mets have fans among their number who would behave that way?
Arrieta could be this year’s Bumgarner.
I have read many Scott Turow’s books. A good writer!
