Major League Baseball should declare all seats within 20 feet of the field a 'geek-free' zone.

Steve Bartman has no excuse for what he did.

He's 26-years-old.

He's a baseball coach. He knows what's playable and not playable.

If he doesn't interfere with the play, it's a completely different ballgame.

Put a Marlin's cap on him and the ump calls interference.

Look at his picture, he's a 'geek'.

Don't cross the street anywhere near this guy. The sight of him is going to cause disappointed Cub fans to black-out behind the wheel. :^O

The reason why interference wasn't called has nothing to do with the cap he wore. It has to do with where the ball would have landed without the fan action. Since that ball would have landed in the stands, there's no interference. If in the judgement of the umpire the ball would have landed on the field and the fan reached out of the stands to catch or deflect it, interference would have been called.

Stop blaming this poor guy, blaming him on the disgusting CHOKE performance by the Cubs is disgraceful.

Gimme a break. 99.999% of foul ball seeking fans would have gone for that fly, maybe more.

You would have done the same exact thing.
