I was a child, in 1986, when the ground ball took a glove to Bill Buckner, a leg, and ended up in the Red Sox a chance to win World Series. How do I know what happened?I have seen and heard shots from the event retold at least 100 times.
Looking back, we all know that there is little review of history suggests that night. What is never mentioned is a wild pitch, which is associated game, or the fact that the events during Game 6 - Red Sox had another chance to capture the World Series. Bill Bucker was the scapegoat for the failures of the team for the next 18 years.
Scapegoat to raise its ugly head again in 2003.
"Catching Hell" lucky considering the Chicago Cubs fan Steve Bartman, who reached for a foul ball and was a strong image of the collapse of the Cubs in the playoffs.
Director Alex Gibney does an amazing job not only to capture footage of the eighth inning infamous, but also to capture the mood in the field of Wrigley. His incredible footage shows a crowd of gay fans going crazy mob lynched a few minutes. Gibney also shows the ball hit the glove of Moises Alou from all possible angles. It raises the question - Will Alou caught the ball without interference Bartman is this?
Just like in '86 Buckner, Bartman was not the reason the Cubs lost the series. There was an error on second base that held the inning alive, pitching the Cubs fell apart, that feed out eight total runs, and, of course, was the Cubs lost Game 7. Just as the Red Sox, no one remembers Game 7 - they just remember Steve Bartman look in left field.
Gibney makes a beautiful work of articulation that Bucker '86 and '03 Bartman incidents suggest - one major problem with this fandom to have a scapegoat. Buckner footage to speak of forgiveness are combined with countless images of Bartman be verbally abused and having beer thrown on him drive the point home.
ESPN Films has built a wonderful brand with 30 of 30 documentary films. Catching Hell is another example of a long history of sports stripped down to reveal something much deeper than what was there all the time.
