The Bartman Incident | The Mishap That Extended The Cubs' Curse
ฝัง

- As summer gave way to fall in 2003, the long-suffering Chicago Cubs found themselves in unfamiliar territory: they were still alive.
Baseball’s most celebrated losers squeaked into the playoffs for the first time in a half-decade, then inexplicably found themselves playing for the National League pennant - four wins away from exorcising demons that had tortured the franchise and their fan base for a generation.
With Chicago on the verge of victory in Game 6, a seemingly innocuous fly ball down the left field line changed the course of history for the franchise and for the unfortunate fan who ended up an unwitting main character and tragic scapegoat in a stunning Cubs collapse.

#ChicagoCubs #MLB #SteveBartman
My father was at this game, in the press box reporting for our small southern Illinois town. Say's he remembers watching trash pour down in Bartmans general direction, felt very sorry for the guy.
I would have defended him poor guy
People are morons and cowards. It's a huge stain for the Cubs fanbase.
I don't get why Cub fans seem to think they were gonna win it all without the Bartman play.... Florida was never losing that series. Bartman simply sped up the inevitable.
@@sebastianbelcher5354they were up 3 games to 2, winning 3-0 at home with 5 outs to go idiot.
This is one of the aspects of sports fandom that I think is hella toxic. The need for fans to find scapegoats. It’s easier for us as humans to process things when we have someone to blame. If anyone is responsible for this collapse, it’s clearly Dusty Baker. It’s horrible what the fans did to this guy. If I became a pariah for one of my favorite teams like this, I’d feel horrible. He didn’t deserve it. It’s not his fault the Cubs gave up 8 runs. It wasn’t even third out that he interfered with.
lucky him social media wasn't a thing back then.
"Catching hell" 30 for 30 is one of my favorites
They better make a follow up episode showing the Chicago Cubs winning the 2016 World Series and Steve Bartman finally being left alone.
Love these videos. This channel does not get enough recognition
Just like the 86 Red Sox, they had a game 7 but lost that. Always forgotten about
Could've also won it in Game 5 making this Game 6 non-existent.
@@JZ2001JCOr could have swept them 4-0 but didn't. I feel bad for Bartman he didn't deserve all that one bit. Shit happens and technically the ball was in the stands so it was fair game the umpires didn't even rule interference so the fans are even more stupid because ANY little child would have done the same, any older adult who wanted to either collect a game used ball or sell it would have tried to catch it.
I saw this game live on TV as a Kid, is surreal looking back that Bartman actually became a thing. Dusty Baker should be charge with War Crime for the way he handled the Cubs pitching staff that night.
True
I can't even imagine what it feels like to have a city turn on you and have country know your name.
Bartmans life as he knew it ended that day.
I will say that he has handled it with class and dignity
Just leave Steve bartman alone it's over now the cubs won the world series . Go back to your lives
Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS: The darkest night in franchise history.
For 13 years I lost respect for Cubs fans after what they to Bartman. We're all imperfect and we're going to make mistakes, but what they did was just down right stupid and inexcusable. Me being a Braves fan, my Dad and I was laughing when the Cubs lost to The Marlins during Game 7. They got what they deserve
Then uand ur dad are childish idiots
If I was Bartman, after the Cubs 2016 WS win, I would have sued the reporter that put that made his home address public.
That's messed up.
You dont beat the 2003 Marlins with 3 runs. Look up how many losses the Marlins had when the opposing team scored 3 or less. (FEW).. And The Cubs were 5 wins away from a title, not 4 wins as you said. They hadn't won against the Marlins and would have lost that game anyway... 8 runs allowed.
Another quality content 🔥🔥🔥
People nowadays do much worse. A lot of people try to cancel someone by making up a story based on few facts. It's the majority of the general public. They don't even realize that they are doing that too. People think they are logical but the majority are not that logical.
“He stole my whole flow” -Secret Base (formerly SB Nation)
I said in a comment that with it being in the stands one, the umpires didn't even rule interference, two ANY child, teen, or fan who wanted it to collect or sell would have went for that ball. The minority of fans there would have processed that it was more important if you want to see the Cubs hopefully win and make the World Series and let Alou catch that ball or at least let him try. The majority of the haters who trashed Bartman are hypocrites because they almost all would have tried to catch it as it was in the stands. That's just my opinion anyway.
Just think no one at the time had video footage capability on their cell phones, that definitely worked in Bartman’s favor.
The shortstop is the reason they lost just the way of it
It’s not Bartmans fault
When you watch the highlights of the last 2 games in that series it's clear Florida was the superior team. Cub fans just couldn't accept that. Bartman or not, Cubs were never going to that world series. Maybe if they were playing a more historically respected team, it would have been easier to cope. But a young team like the Marlins robbing the loyal cubs fans seems unfair. Glad the nicer Cub fans got to celebrate in 2016.
Juan Pierre was a tough out
Jaylen Brown next video theScore 🙏🙏🙏
6:07 although multiple fans reached for the ball... pictures don't lie. Why do people lie and choose to believe what they want? All those fans were not reaching for the ball. Two people were...Bartman and dude in front of him. People behind Bartman are clearly backing off. And the dude in front of Bartman was reaching back, keeping his arms/hands on his side of the railing. Bartman is the ONLY one who interferes, only one who has his hands extended on the field side of the railing.
who fucking cares it's a game
Haha that was a crazy situation to be in. Peoples emotions are high in a live and important game and dude had the misfortune of being in a great place with wrong crowd.
A great place?
at Yankees stadium first row always the conversation comes up what to do if the ball comes into the stands. this back in the 80's, 90's, 2000's. if the Yankees are at bat we play defense and dont allow a catch by opposing team. if the Yankees are on defense we ALLOW them to catch it come into the stands to make any catch. but I guess in Chicago this conversation doesnt come up. remember Jeter flying into the stands against Red Sox. no one tried to catch the ball. in chicago what was said its human nature to try for the ball. WRONG not when your team is on defense.
In all truth if I was a Cubs fan I would not want that clown within a thousand miles of Chicago.

If you're referring to Bartman, you're an idiot.
Bartman has nothing to do with the Curse! Out 2 should have come with ball to SS going to 2nd base for the out and ball to RF would have been 3rd out and Cubs should have still had 3-2 lead
Nahhh leave the stories to secret base
i blamed alex gnzales
Fan toxicity and mob mentality at it’s worst!
Batman?
i read it as batman too lol
