Review of Catching Hell (2011) by Nick U — 15 Jan 2016
1/15/16 ESPN.COM.
Another home run by Alex Gibney, forgive the pun. Excellent story telling, player and fan interviews and actual game footage show how one simple act, an error in Buckner's case and a reach for a foul ball in Bartman's case can change a life forever. Everyone forgets Calvin Schiraldi giving up 3 hits and Bob Stanley's wild pitch before the error. Everyone forgets Alex Gonzalez booting a sure inning ending easy double play grounder after the Bartman incident which would have prevented the huge inning the Marlins had. Fans, history and the game can be beautiful and cruel in the same game.
