The man didn't do anything wrong. He grabbed at a foul ball coming down right in front of him. He didn't see Alou trying to catch it because he's looking at the ball like he should have been. A woman at old Tiger Stadium lost an eye when she took her eyes off the ball while sitting in the stands. A foul smashed her eye socket and literally crushed her eyeball. She is now blind in that eye obviously but also suffers headaches and double vision with the eye she still has. The Tiger franchise paid her nothing because they are not obligated. Basically, she's screwed--terribly screwed.

Bartman did only what any sensible person should do: keep your eye on the ball so it doesn't come down on your head.

He didn't lose the series, the Cubs did. Kerry Wood blames himself for choking and Alou afterwards refused to badmouth Bartman. Now if the rest of Chicago would just do the same. Shut up and get over it, folks. At least you have a good ball team. Try living here in Detroit and having to watch the Tigers. Spoiled asses.
