October 14, 2003 is a day that will live in sports infamy. The lovable loser Cubbies were just 5 outs away from going to there first World Series since 1945, until Steve Bartman, a fan watching the game on the 3rd Base side, grabbed a ball that was in play in the reach of Left Fielder Moises Alou, what followed was a complete collapse, the Cubs would implode, giving up a 3-0 run by giving up 8 runs in the 8th inning, losing Game 6, and losing Game 7 the following night. Steve Bartman would become one of the most memorable scapegoats in Sports History, and this ESPN 30 For 30 Special perfectly captures every detail and nuance of that fateful night in October, that will not soon be forgotten.
