It's really big of him to feel some compassion for the kid five years later after he had to endure ridicule and death threats.

standup effort by alou

bartman had to move his family out of illinois

he wouldve had to go father than fla.. if he was a sox fan

what a stupid story, Bartman reacted the way 98% of fans in his position would've reacted. he wasn't even the only fan to reach for the ball, it just happened to hit his hand

Doesn't matter at all. Although maybe the poor guy will get less s*** about it.

Doubtful, fans like to place blame for a team's failure on a singular person or circumstance as often as possible, fairly or not. (see Bill Buckner)

If Ricky Gutierrez doesn't boot a sure double play ball and Mark Prior doesn't choose that game to begin his descent into oblivion, we'd be wondering who the hell Steve Bartman is.

Alex Gonzalez...but yea I agree with you

[See Red]

I still think he could have caught the ball... way too late for Alou to be coming clean about this if he really didn't think he'd have caught the ball... Bartman's life is already ruined because of it. Too bad, too, because anyone else might've done the same thing.
