Moises, You Salty Sonofabitch
Moises Alou is either a liar, or a really mean guy. Five years later he reveals that he wouldn’t have caught the Steve Bartman ball!? Is he you serious? He couldn’t have said that right after the game? Or the week after? Or the year after? Or three years after? Alou clearly doesn’t understand how the normal psychology of human emotion and forgiveness works.
Most likely, Alou would have caught the ball, and still believes he would have caught the ball. But now he’s decided it’s about time to help old boy Bartman out. Good for you Moises. I guess. Perhaps next week you’ll forgive the kid who took your lunch money in 2nd grade.
As for Bartman, he probably wishes this whole thing would be left alone. He’s been vindicated—sort of—but now he also has to deal with everybody remembering who he is again. That’s not good. What is good is that Alou’s words have made it possible for Bartman to once again show his face and use his real name…a few years from now.
