I gotta say, from the angle of that first picture, I am less inclined to think that there was even a chance to get that ball.....not an easy thing for this long suffering Cubs fan to admit.

During the time that Bartman and Alou were both reaching for the ball, all eight men on base raced home and the Marlins won the game.

Nice job.
I feel sorry for the guy: he's got to move out of his home town and he's got to live with this his whole life.

Hey, this says there WAS fan interference, and if there was fan interference, the ump should have called the batter......out?!
To: Sabertooth
The way I see it, Alou interfered with the fan's right to catch the ball, thereby null and voiding any chance the fan had to be in the spotlight, if even for a few seconds. If he could have caught it, he could have raised his hands skyward and everybody would have cheered him, TV would have caught his expression of joy, and for just afew short moments he would have been somebody. Now, because of player interference, this poor guy will be a nobody from now on, losing his moment of glory.

It was not in the field of play.
In any case, what does this prove? Even if the ump blew the call, how do you explain the collapse of the Cubs after a blown call?
And Kerry Woods' complete "el foldo" in Game Seven?
Over-analyzing a single event is pointless.

I hate to say this Sabertooth (because I agree with a lot of your postings), but "So What? Big Deal!"
Wake up everybody, this is only a game! Sure, we all need fun and diversion in our lives, but this sports obsession is absurd and detracts from the really IMPORTANT issues affecting our lives (e.g., terrorism, illegal aliens, opressive big government, socialism, etc.).

Yawn... when you show me some conclusive photos showing that this fool caused the Cubs to blow a 3-1 series lead or to give up 8 runs in the 8th inning, I may care...

Ball in fan territory.
Fan in fan territory.
Cubs lose.
End of story.

At pic #1, the ball is already bouncing away.
Pic #3 is the moment of Bartman's contact with the ball,
when it was deflected up and back toward the stands. Alou's glove was open and waiting.

You miss the point.
The point is,the Cubs were robbed of finding another way to lose.
It's all Bartmans fault.
I demand a recount.

There is now no question that Umpire Mike Everitt blew the fan interference call against Steve Bartman on two counts: contact with the ball and contact with Moises Alou’s glove, within the field of play.We wuz robbed. Yet again.
The curse lives.
Just damn.
If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
[As i mentioned, the B/C & JD! lists are going to float into and out of whack over the forseeable future, while I try to cobble a rig back together for myself. My apologies for any incovenience or misunderstandings in this time frame. New signups/removals may be flaky in this time-frame as well; please bear with me, and keep in mind you may have to FReepmail me more than once for me to get it done. Thanks again!]

Look at #7, which shows Bartman's hands beyond the stands, which is in the field of play. In any case, what does this prove? Even if the ump blew the call, how do you explain the collapse of the Cubs after a blown call?
It proves the Mike Everitt blew a crucial call, which, if he had made it correctly, would have left Steve Bartman's name in obscurity. It doesn't prove anything about the final outcome of the game, other than it was affected.

Sorry. Ump made the right non-call. The Cubs choked, plain and simple.

Alou's glove was open and waiting. You're exactly right!
Alous glove was open and waiting. In fan territory.
