I feel really bad for that guy. There are so many fricking idiot fans. I love sports as much as anyone else but if you care enough to harass someone who just made an honest mistake you are a worthless loser IMO

The Cubs really are cursed. This made it pretty clear.

One of the better 30 for 30 docs. Very thorough.

Can't imagine going through what he did. Becoming public enemy No. 1 of your beloved team's fanbase, when most people's reflex would be to do exactly what he did.

If Alex Gonzalez doesn't boot that ball maybe his life isn't changed forever.

I watched it not long ago. I felt and still do feel bad for that guy.

If I was him I probably wouldn't have stayed in Chicago.

And let's not forget that there was a Game 7 that they could have won.

My favorite part of that play is all the other fans who are reaching for the ball.

Sucks what happened to that guy. Great what happened to the cubs

I thought it was the most disappointing 30 for 30. He wasn't in it.

Feel really bad for the guy, he did what any fan would do in the same situation, he couldn't tell if the ball was gonna be in play or not...He didn't reach 3 feet out onto the field of play like Jeffrey Maier

The Cubs' players were too busy blaming Bartman, when in reality all the blame was on them. The players, the fans, were waiting for something bad to happen.

I personally felt the opposite. It was one of my favorite 30 for 30's and really shed some light on that entire situation. Cubs fans are TPOS.


ETA: Also, how can you expect Bartman to be in that ? It ruined his life. He probably wants to forget it forever.

I would blame Dbag Dusty for a lot of the harrassment Bartman got. He at least could have taken the high road and put out some of the fire post game by accepting some responsiblity on behalf of himself/his team...instead he ripped the guy in the press conference and perpetuated making Bartman the scapegoat

Forgot that part.

Another reason to hate that piece of garbage.
