Now Alou states he would have caught the ball.
FTA: Months after being quoted as saying he would not have caught the foul ball that Chicago Cubs fan Steve Bartman reached for in the eighth inning of the National League Championship Series, Alou said he would have indeed caught the ball had it not been for fan interference, the Palm Beach Post reported on Tuesday.

Clarification:
There was no fan interference because the ball was over the stands. Mr. Bartman never reached out unto the field to try to catch the ball. Therefore, he had as much right as Alou to the ball.
That’s the official ruling. However, Bartman would have been better off (and the Cubs, too) getting away from the ball’s path. Unfortunately, he never saw Alou. And we all know the rest.
