September 28, 201114 yr I found it nuts the suggestions that he still can't use a CC. I know. That's crazy. Guess he just pays 'straight cash homey' for everything. He can use one online I guess. I can't see myself living in fear like that. I'd love to know for certain if he is still in the Chicago area. All signs point to him still being there.
September 28, 201114 yr What about Buckner wearing a Cubs batting glove when he misplayed that ball.............that was crazy. The curse of the Billy Goat lives. That was crazy!
September 28, 201114 yr Interesting OTL article on espn.com about the Patrick Looney guy (last name although after reading it it is appropriate) who was the guy sitting by Bartman who missed the ball........................Basically this guy wished it was him so he could have reacted differently and been more of a public figure enjoying the attention.................... http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/eticket/story?page=110927/PatLooney
September 28, 201114 yr Watched every minute of it. The tie in with Buckner was awesome. Really some weird stuff with him from his prophesy, and wearing the Cub glove. Hard to believe that Bartman has never surfaced after all of these years. What a story
September 28, 201114 yr I didn't catch this last night, but I look forward to seeing it sometime. PP92, I always heard that he had moved to Florida. Not sure if that is true though.
September 28, 201114 yr Still have half of it to watch. My only issue with some of the 30 for 30s, they drag on way too long. Compelling thus far, but probably could omit 30% of it. The Buckner thing went on forever.

They made a good point that by not going on a publicity tour and only having the iconic image of himself it allows him to lead a much normal life. I truly believe that he feels bad about all of it and wishes it would go away. That belief is affirmed by his seclusion and lack of trying to make any kind of profit off of the ordeal.

I see ZERO evidence of his claim he pulled his hands back. Bartman just touched it first and Looney is an attention hog who wants to be liked. Also, it's really easy to say what you would do from your couch. I doubt Looney would do what he says if he would have indeed been Bartman. It looks to me that when the security guards come over there Looney is quick to make sure nobody mistakens him for Bartman. A LOT of revisionist history with this guy.
September 28, 201114 yr Still hurts after all these years... Yes it does. I had to turn it off the other night, no desire to relive it.
September 28, 201114 yr Well said................Definitely looking for his 15 minutes of fame. "Hey kids let me show you my athletic past.................Here is a picture of me missing a ball in foul territory at a playoff game. Man..........I am something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
September 28, 201114 yr Still hurts after all these years... Yes it does. I had to turn it off the other night, no desire to relive it.I remember it to be a joyous playoffs.
September 28, 201114 yr I thought it was really good and look forward to watching again... Though the Buckner parallel lasted a little longer than I'd have liked.
September 28, 201114 yr Author The behavior of the Cubs fans really surprised me. They were ridiculous. Glad Bartman wasn't in Philly, he may not of made it out alive.
September 28, 201114 yr The behavior of the Cubs fans really surprised me. They were ridiculous. Glad Bartman wasn't in Philly, he may not of made it out alive. It was a modern day lynch mob. Seriously, if you ever want to see how lynch mob mentality takes hold in a group, watch this story. Amazing that the fans were chanting a _ _ hole at Bartman as the game was going on and how the crowd targeted him. Like I said, Alex Gonzalez should say a prayer for Bartman every day. I have never understood how Gonzalez got out of that so cleanly.
