LOS ANGELES TIMES, Oct. 15, 2003
* The Steve Bartman interference incident
* Chicago Cubs vs. Florida Marlins baseball
* National League playoff game 6 debacle
The top of the front page has a three column color photo showing Steve Bartman interfering with a foul ball catch attempt by Cubs outfielder Moises Alou.
The front page of the sport's section has a banner headline that announces: "Wrigley's New Goat" with subheads and two related photos. More inside.
Complete with all sections (80+ pages), very nice condition.
AI notes: In 2003, during the NLCS between the Chicago Cubs and Florida Marlins, fan Steve Bartman accidentally deflected a foul ball that Cubs outfielder Moisés Alou tried to catch, preventing an out. The Cubs, leading and close to winning the game and series, then collapsed, allowing the Marlins to score 8 runs and win the game, eventually losing the series. Bartman was blamed and harassed by fans despite not being responsible for the entire loss. Years later, the Cubs forgave him, and he remains a symbol of the team's historic postseason struggles until their 2016 World Series win.
