Cubs fan is a marked man

[RJ]

It's a shame the Cubs ended up losing the series. They choked big time with their poor defense and pitching, yet this poor fan is getting the brunt of the blame. Seems like a nice guy too, I hope he's able to live this down someday.

yep its too bad since there were about 5 other fans with their arms out trying for the ball and it just happened to hit him.

Their blaming him because their team sucked under pressure.. don't ruin someone's life because of your mistake.. if a ball was coming at me I'd hit it away too

Check this out, there's already a movie being made based on this play.

BTW, if anyone missed the now famous non-catch, MLB has it on their website at

Look for "Moises Alou's catch foiled by a fan: 56K | 300K" in the game 6 recap.
