Take me out

I'm sure most of the people who read this don't follow baseball, but you might have heard of the incident in a crucial game where a fan, trying to catch a foul popup, ruined a play by the home team. Now it seems Hollywood is interested in the plight of the hapless fan.

Meanwhile wags suggested the guy might want to join the witness protection program, and columnist Thomas Boswell of the Washington Post suggested:

Somewhere, Steve Bartman, the 26-year-old Cubs fan who knocked The Foul Fly Ball out of Moises Alou's glove in Game 6, may have sung, "Take me out of the Midwest, take me far from the crowd. Buy me some airfare and fake ID. I'm real sure that I'll never come back."
