In the very first installment of
GoogOgraphy,
we take a look at the text of Steve Bartman, the Cub fan who did something he
probably shouldn't have:
"There are few
words to describe how awful
I feel and what I have experienced within these last 24
hours. I've been a Cubs
fan all my life and fully understand the relationship between my
actions and the outcome
of the game. I had my eyes glued
on the approaching ball the entire time and was so caught up in the moment that
I did not even see Moises
Alou, much less that he may have had a play.
Had I thought for one second that
the ball was playable or had I seen Alou approaching, I would have done whatever
I could to get
out of the way and give Alou a chance to make the catch.
To Moises Alou, the Chicago
Cubs organization, Ron
Santo, Ernie
Banks and Cubs
fans everywhere, I am so truly sorry from the bottom of this Cubs fan's
broken
heart. I ask that Cubs fans everywhere redirect the negative
energy that has been vented toward my family, my friends and myself into
the usual positive support for our beloved team on their way to being
National League champs."
