Might be fucked up, and it's not a great position to be in, but I'd rather be a guy that had a 20 year career in the Majors that was forced to move locations because of a single play than be some regular nobody that had his life completely ruined because the Cubs melted down after he along with everyone else around him was reaching for a foul ball that Moises Alou wasn't gonna catch anyways.
Bartman was nefarious. Not only did he cause Moises to drop the ball but he tricked the SS to commit an error that otherwise easily would have turned two to end the inning, and he convinced Dusty Baker to leave his dead arm starter in the game. That’s true skullduggery.
I could be wrong here, but I feel like remember Bartman eventually had to move away as well.
He was attending a Cubs playoff game by himself, and listening to the game on the radio, about as anonymous as you can be, then the whole world knows his name and face because of a natural reaction that everyone else around him also had. Everyone already knew Bucknor, and though it was more extreme after the error, he'd been in the Majors over 15 years at that point and had to have some experience with being harrassed by nobodies.
yeah, I'm not even sure how this is really all that debatable.
