On this day in 2003, the
Chicago Cubs were just five outs away from their first
World Series since 1945. In the eighth inning, a fan named
Steve Bartman plucked a fly ball out of the air before outfielder
Moises Alou could catch it - a catch that would have been a crucial out in the sixth game of the league championship series against the
Florida Marlins. As a result of Bartman's interference, the Cubs lost their momentum and the game. Bartman was escorted from
Wrigley Field by security guards as bloodthirsty fans hurled beer cans and other debris at his head. The next day, he went into hiding. Today we have the song
If You Want Blood by
AC/DC from one of my favorite albums,
Highway To Hell.
