Except that at least 5 fans by my count did not. Look at the picture.
You have two dorks grabbing at the ball and a wall of people standing
back.


True -- but the Chicago Tribune reported today that even the folks in the
stands nearest to the "dork" admitted that NO ONE saw the player rushing to
make the catch -- he just appeared out of no where.

This is perfectly logical, given that everyone was looking UP at the ball,
as it was coming down on them at 80 mph. Many people tried to duck out of
the way, probably because they lost it in the lights.

Those who were able to follow the ball tried to catch it -- it's just human
nature.
