Vinik vs. Bartman

This is a simple one for me. Leave the ball alone if it is catchable. This is like reality television. We don't need to know who these people are. Bartman's only flaw was that he cared too much. The headphones, the Cubs attire, and he was oblivious to what was happening in the game. All of a sudden, he's Bilbo Baggins trying to grab the ring. I remember Jeffrey Maier reaching over to snare a Derek Jeter home run ball against the Orioles. I saw the same thing occur years before at Yankee stadium to ruin a pitcher's duel and give the Yankees a 1-0 win. Have enough respect for the game if you are sitting close to the field to let the players decide the outcome. If you want a baseball, attend batting practice. If you are purposely trying to interfere to help your team--stay at home.
