As I’m typing I’m watching the conclusion of the two hour documentary “Catching Hell” about the Bartman incident.
Cub fans should be eternally proud! LOL
It should not have mattered, the Cubs blew it. Like the 85 Series which Cardinal fans blame the ump .
Denkinger did blow the call and who knows what happens if there is replay.
But you are correct, the Cards were up 3-1 with a chance to wrap it up at home.
And there was a game 7 which the Cards completely folded in.
Don’t forget the foul pop up that Jack Clark botched. Another out there, and the Royals probably don’t score.
that's cuz he was holding the runner on (the runner who was out).
JMO, but he would have caught that with no runner on (playing back further, much better angle on the popup)

I could be cynical and say “Winners make those plays and also-rans don’t.” But that would be a bit unfair to Clark. After all, I still get a big smile when I replay his mammoth shot into the LF Pavilion at Dogdirt Stadium in the NLCS against the hated LA Dogdirts, my least favorite team.

Then again, with no runners on, maybe that popup never occurs. The situation changes for the pitcher and the batter.
