Good points Alou definitely made it worse, a very high percentage(80-90%) of people would have tried to catch the ball thus interfering with the play and there's no guarantee Alou catches the ball anyway. What about all the BS, Cubs blew the game many times, the ground ball through Gonzalez legs at SS was one of the worst through the game.
Alou was featured on ESPN the other night in a seemingly
waaaaay too long of a segment considering that the entire subject matter was how 80% of his life, his "Identity" is having been involved in that mashup with Steve Bartman.
Alou is made to autograph pictures of the play on a very very frequent basis, forced to answer the same question, about the play, just about constantly. Alou gets barraged with phone calls from guys writing articles about the play or just random guys asking "
Hey are you the same guy that was involved in that play?" most of these calls in the middle of the night while he is sleeping cuz he lives in some other time zone than USA.
Alou's life is, apparently, something of a Nightmare and its all Steve Bartman's fault.
The ESPN Report on this featured really sad background music, depressing camera angles, like, shot from below pointing upwards and subdued lighting of course. I only stayed watching it to see how long it would go on and it went on a really really long time.
