Steve Bartman: Catching Hell
With five outs remaining in Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS, a foul ball descended from the cold Chicago sky, destined for the glove of left fielder Moises Alou. But it was not meant to be, as one inconspicuous hand reached down from the left field stands at Wrigley Field and seized the potential out. That hand belonged to Cubs fan Steve Bartman, and many believed that he snatched away Chicago’s chance of advancing to the World Series. Bartman became the most despised man in Chicago. He attempted a public appeal, but his fate was already sealed by the Cub fans’ need for a scapegoat to clarify a near-century of bringing up the rear. Although Cubs Nation has since went on to other seasons and other losses, Bartman remains ostracized from a community he lives in and a team he once loved. Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney explores this link and tries to answer the question, Can Steve Bartman ever forgive Chicago?
