Moises Alou on infamous Bartman play in 2003 playoffs (Cubs vs. Marlins)

The mood changed because of his reaction and throwing a tantrum. I really think of he had reacted normally and not made a big deal of it, things would have been different. Everyone fed off of his outburst and it brought the team down in a bad way.

[@stephaniegormley9982]

Worst tantrum I've ever seen over possible fan interference......................... that was a foul ball anyway. Players usually just laugh those off.

[@echoven]

People are responsible for their own actions. Even if Alou did "greenlight" fan behaviour that day they all had a chance to listen to their own conscience. Reality is that cubs were losers in 2003. Losing over and over for a hundred years makes you bitter and bitterness teaches you to enjoy the pain of others, they all relished a chance to eat one of their own - it's what they'd been waiting for! I have no sympathy for people who blame bartman but also I have no sympathy for people who dont understand alous anger. Ain't you ever played a sport before? Testosterone gets high during physical activity.

[@Flowerz__]

Yup. Moises owes Steve bartman a true apology and a lot of ppl in the cubs organization played a role in this. The cubs blew this game, steve bartman had NOTHING to do with them losing the game. It’s honestly disgraceful by the cubs and they should have treated bartman like a king but they played a massive role in this guys life being ruined.

Maybe it's because I'm a former player, but there's no way I'm trying to catch that. Not only that, if I had seen what was happening, I would have pushed everyone away as hard as I could and yelled at them to let Alou make the catch. But hey, not everyone think like I do.

There was a similar play in the previous series against Atlanta where some rube interfered with the catcher behind home plate. The catcher gave the idiot a little shove. Nobody talks about that because it wasn't at a crucial point in the the game. You have to know when to let your guys make a play. 27 precious outs in a baseball game.

Exactly the Cubs let that play get to their heads

[@g-manjams]

I think Alou's reaction costed them the series. As soon as he did that, the entire stadium felt a wave of defeat come over it, and everyone just gave up hope with a fuckin 7 run lead. I like the Cubs. My grandfather tried out and made their farm system as a shortstop waaaaay back in the day...he was a die hard Cubs fan. But the fanbase fed into the mystique of the curse and really brought the players down. I've never seen anything like it. Glad y'all finally got your world series. Alou was a piece of shit, and he was a habitual loser. Great player, but he always lost, and that attitude is why the Cubs lost that night.

[@michaelguadiana4756]

No one is more responsible for the cubs loosing then this man right here, had he kept his composer" his team mates would not have fed off of him. After all the pitcher was still facing the same batter after the play. Mickey lolich found himself in much the same play in game 7 of the 68 WS against the cards when horton and Northrop dropped a fly ball causing lolich loose the batter and having to start all over. Did lolich loose his composer? No and because of that the cards couldn't mount a rally even with a break like that. The difference between a professional and a crybaby.

[@ReplayX2X]

Is either Northrop or Horton the shortstop that dropped the ball that could have been converted into a double play? Wouldn't it be the shortstop's fault (not entirely of course, the cubs just played bad) that they lost? Asking because I geniunely don't know the names.

Real fans would have backed off...Cubs fans are yuppie bandwagon people not real baseball fans

[@stocksgoupward5922]

when you sit in seats in the front row its very simple. if your team is on defense you let YOUR Team into the stands. EVERYTIME. if your team, the home team is at bat THEN you go after the ball when the opposing team comes into the stands. At Yankees stadium this has always been a topic as I have sat in front row seating many many times. In Chicago it must not be that way as he was sort of defended as its human nature to go after the ball. WRONG only GO AFTER THE BALL if your team is at BAT IT IS.

Bartman deserves the responsibility, had he been paying attention and knew whst was going on, he would have let Alou catch it.
