What he did is messed up and cost the Cubs the game BUT he didn't deserve to have his life threatened, have beer and other items thrown at him, and then have to be escorted out of the game by the police for FEAR OF HIS SAFETY! That's not right.

Actually, he didn't cost the Cubs the game.
No, no, the Cubs cost themselves the game. They made quite a few mistakes after this happened. The team has nobody to blame but itself.
Not to mention that after watching this replay over and over and over it really wasn't fan interference - the ball was in the stands. He was reacting to a ball flying toward him, was he supposed to leave his hands in his pockets while the ball pegged him in the head or something? I would have done the same damn thing and tried to snag the ball as well because it WAS IN THE STANDS.
Everyone needs to quit bitching about how this man cost the Cubs the game because they did it to themselves.
