Would love to see him come back and watch the game. You are absolutely right, he stuck his hand out toward a ball that was coming his direction. It was a foul ball in the stands, no different than one that went 40 rows up. Fans that blamed him for the loss are dumber than the ones that actually believe a goat, or a cat or anything is the reason this club hasn't won. Poor front office management, poor drafting and stupid decisions are the reason we haven't won. There is always a modicum of luck involved but consistant failure is a product of poor management, not bad luck.
I'm sick of the lovable losers monniker. I want enviable winner. I'm sick of Cardinal Fans rubbing the fact that we haven't won a pennant since Roosevelt was President and a World Series since Taft was president. If the damned Red Sox can 'break the curse' then there is no reason that this team, with this group, can't do it in the next few years.
It may not be this year, but it has to happen. Luck is what you make of opportunities. This is the opportunity and this is the time. If this team fails it will be because this team failed, not because some stupid curse or because some fan reaches out for a ball.
