“Catching Hell,” an ESPN film by Alex Gibney, dives into the infamous 2003 incident where Steve Bartman interfered with a catch by Moises Alou, derailing the Chicago Cubs’ World Series hopes. The film explores the psychology of fandom and how Bartman quickly became Chicago’s scapegoat.

The documentary acts as a cautionary tale, examining how mass disappointment can focus blame on a single individual. Using interviews and archival footage, “Catching Hell” exposes the darker sides of sports culture and prompts viewers to rethink their own snap judgments.
