The Phillies have not had the best luck this season. Last night, one of their own fans proved that… in a game that was in Minnesota. This team just can’t escape bad breaks.

One of the most compelling moments in last night’s 30 for 30 Steve Bartman documentary comes from the first-hand story of Wrigley Field security guard Erika Amundsen. It was Amundsen’s job to escort Bartman to safety: first at the fateful game, and later after it ended. See how it happened after the jump.

During last night’s 30 for 30 documentary on reviled Cubs fan Steve Bartman, filmmaker Alex Gibney highlighted a funny moment on SportsCenter when a Howard Stern fan prank-called then-anchor Dan Patrick.

In this sneak peek from tonight’s Steve Bartman 30 for 30, Bartman’s goat moment is compared to another famous baseball tragedy: that of Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner.

On October 15th, 2003, the Chicago Sun-Times published the name and hometown of a 26-year-old computer consultant named Steve Bartman. The paper was not wrong for doing this — the information was widely available on message boards the night before and other publications would’ve done it soon anyway — but it signaled an end to whatever life Steve Bartman had known before.

This San Francisco Giants fan didn’t know the unwritten rule of sitting in the front row: LET YOUR TEAM CATCH THE BALL.

We finally read Tom Verducci’s SI story on Armando Galarraga’s near-perfect game. It functions as a lesson in grace under fire, and why it’s probably a mistake to get too worked up about someone screwing something up – even something big.

Armando Galarraga’s performance should have awarded him perfection. as bloggers are debating whether to institute instant replay, pundits elsewhere are also waxing on the meaning and message behind one man’s quest for perfection and dutiful recognition.
