	Steve Bartman, the Chicago Cubs, and It Could Happen to You by Marvin Terry on Baseball Almanac
		Steve Bartman, the Chicago Cubs, and It Could Happen to You by Marvin Terry on Baseball Almanac
		On Tuesday, October 14, 2003, Steve Bartman — a 26-year old global human resources company worker from Chicago, Illinois — entered the halls of baseball history when he (along with many others) tried to catch a foul ball that was also being caught by Moises Alou of the Chicago Cubs.
		Bartman succeeded, Alou failed and the Cubs lost the National League Championship Series.

	Steve Bartman
		Steve Bartman is a Chicago resident who became famous on the evening of October 14, 2003 for interfering with a foul pop-up in a game involving the Chicago Cubs.

		Bartman is being blamed, so the fans don't to have blame the shortstop, Alex Gonzalez, or the manager Dusty Baker, or the heretofore tightfisted Tribune company, which has owned the team and has, like its predecessors, the Wrigley Gum Company, been satisfied to see it stink as long as it made money.

	Steve Bartman - Cubs Fan
		Everybody by now knows it wasn't Bartmans fault...If there is anybody to blame it is Alex Rodriguez whose weak batting and horribly misplay on a routine ground ball extended the Marlins at bat even further.
		I can't understand the storm of outrage directed at Steve Bartman,that he has been labled the goat,or the Villain.There was a bad guy involved in causing the Cubs' colapse,for everyone to vent their anger toward,and it was not Steve Bartman,it was the LEFT FIELD UMPIRE!!
		Bartman was also NOT the only person in the stands going for the ball.

		Bartman had to be led away from the park under escort for his own safety.
		It is said that some Cubs fans blamed Bartman for the Cubs losing this game and, ultimately, their chance at reaching the World Series (which the Marlins went on to win) for the first time since 1945.
		Bartman said, "I look forward to, and expect to return to my normal life activities, including cheering our beloved Cubs toward many more exciting postseasons of play." As of July 2005, Bartman still lives and works in the Chicago area.

	LostBrain Sports: The History of Baseball
		Security had to escort Bartman from the game as he was pelted by cups, dirt, loose fillings, fans' feces and — in the biggest tragedy of the night — even perfectly drinkable beer.
		According to bystanders and the umpire, Bartman was sitting watching a game when a ball and, one second later, an outfielder’s probing hand dropped in his lap — at which point the entire population wisely, and from a strictly logical perspective, decided to murder him.
		If the people of Chicago are to be believed, Bartman is as close to a drooling handicap as it’s possible to be without having to wear a bib all day, because he attempted to catch a ball heading straight at him.

	Steve Bartman - BR Bullpen
		Steve Bartman is the Chicago Cubs fan who interfered with a foul fly ball that Moises Alou was attempting to catch with one out in the 8th inning of Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS on October 14, 2003 (Boxscore).
		While Alou would have had a chance to make the catch, it would have been a stellar play by him and by no means a sure thing; in any case, Bartman's intervention preventing from having any shot at the ball.
		The Marlins went on to score 8 runs during the inning to put the game away, while FOX repeatedly showed Bartman during the broadcast.

	Steve Bartman to Have Cubs Players Demolished Thursday :: SportsGoons.com (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Bartman added that Mordecai couldn’t hit his way out of a fight with a girl and that Farnsworth’s outing was the worst clutch pitching performance in baseball history, with the possible exception of Pedro Martinez’s choke-job in Game 7 against the Yankees.
		Bartman has reportedly been preparing for this moment by training in terrorist camps in Saudi Arabia and Lebanon for 4 ½ months since the Cubs lost to the Marlins in Game 7 of the NLCS.
		Bartman supporters argue that the Cubs’ players’ terrible play during the eighth inning of Game 6, in which the Cubs surrendered an agonizing eight runs, had much more to do with the team choking than Moises Alou not catching a foul ball that would have been only the first out of the inning.

		Steve Bartman didnt do anything that any other fan at a ball game would do and thats to get a baseball.
		In any case, Steve Bartman was an unfortunate fan who was unfairly maligned by Cubs fans who witnessed what amounted to a nervous breakdown by their team.
		So in my opinion, if steve bartman had his hands behind his back, then what followed would have happened anyways the only difference is that instead of blaming bartman, cub fans would blame moises alou for not jumping high enough or something like that.

		Even if Bartman had leapt out of the stands, flying tackled Alou and ran off with the ball screaming "I hate everyone in Chicago", Bartman would have cost the Cubs a crucial play, not the series.

		Comment from fdtate313 - 10/17/03 4:19 AM Personally, I think Steve should be asked by the Cubs to throw out the first ball of the 1994 season at Wrigley Field.
