NLCS (4-3): Florida Marlins vs. Chicago Cubs

• BR 2003 NLCS Summary

Introduction

The 2003 National League Championship Series is most famous for the Steve Bartman incident, which took place in Game 6. While sitting in the stands along the left field foul line, Bartman prevented a foul ball in the stands from being caught, but it was not fan interference.

While the Bartman incident will be remembered historically, the Cubs still held a 3-1 lead in the game when the event occured. A more damaging blow to the Cubs was a tailor-made double play ground ball hit to sure-handed shortstop Alex Gonzalez. Gonzalez could not field the ball cleanly, and all runners were safe. Immediately following this play, Ivan Rodriguez singled to tie the game, and the rest was history.

For the seven-game series, Miguel Cabrera of the Marlins scored 10 runs, including three home runs.
