I wanted to, but couldn't bring myself to watch it...
That 03 team is why I collect Mark Prior & Kerry Wood to this day.
I've cried a total of 2 times in my life during sporting events. One was tears of joy when UNI beat Kansas in the NCAA tournament. The other was at the end of game 7 of that series. Game 6 was a downer, but Game 7 was totally an emotional roller coaster for me. Bummed out when they fell behind. Overwhelming joy when Wood hit the home run to give them the lead, and then total devastation at the end.
All that said though, while I wish those fans (all of them - Bartman was not the ONLY one with his hands in there) would have at least given Alou the chance to make the catch, the resulting treatment of Bartman sickens me. That a young man would have his life completely ruined by doing what comes naturally to any baseball fan is beyond the pale.
I think most of the Cubs' fan base treats the situation as it is - another tally mark in the column of 'bum luck'. I even ate at Harry Caray's this summer when I was in Chicago and saw the remains of the ball that got blown up. But any fan that threatened, stalked, etc poor Bartman is no fan I want to be a 'brother' to.
