Alou: "I wouldn't have caught it, anyway."

Alou says he wouldn't have caught Bartman ball in 2003 NLCS
Should Steve Bartman be off the hook with Cubs fans? According to Moises Alou, he should be.
Alou, now with the Mets, said he wouldn't have caught the now-infamous pop foul in the 2003 National League Championship Series that hit the heel of Bartman's hand in the eighth inning of Game 6, prolonging an inning in which the Marlins later rallied for the lead. Florida went on to win the series.
The Cubs were leading the Marlins three games to two in the 2003 NLCS, ahead 3-0 in the top of the eighth inning and five outs from returning to the World Series for the first time since 1945 when Florida's Luis Castillo lifted a foul down the line in left just past the bullpen.

Full story.
He's a bit late, for my taste - but I suppose it's better late than never.
