Catching Hell

[video=youtube;o6NsWdRfgAk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6NsWdRfgAk When Chicagoan Steve Bartman fatefully deflected a foul ball in Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS, the city's long-suffering Cubs fans found someone new to blame for their cursed century without a World Series title. Director Alex Gibney explores the psychology of die-hard sports fans, the frightening phenomenon of scapegoating, and the hysteria that turned mild-mannered Bartman into the most hated man in Chicago.

Saw this when it was on 30 for 30. A great documentary and I feel horrible for Bartman.

I posted this because the reaction to the "Bad Fan" last night. People are amazing in their reactions. The day before the hangout was talking about the feel good picture of Buck and today there is the reaction to the "Bad Fan".

Only if we had lost...
