Big deal. Fan reaches for ball, interferes with play. It happens.

He didn't let in the next 7 runs to lose the game, or lose the following game to drop the series. The Cubs did that on their own.

As they have so much practice doing.

I'm with TBone (imagine that) this was not fan interference. This was a bunch of chokers looking for an excuse to lose. Their sad collapse after this play is the blooper. What the media did to Bartman, along with insufferably whiny Cub fans, is the real eyesore. Could nobody (Baker, Alou, etc.) say he didn't lose the game, we did. ? It's about getting people out, especially when you have the lead.
