When Steve Bartman deflected a foul ball during a Chicago Cubs game in 2003, he became Public Enemy No. 1 in Chicago. He is still lives in fear for his safety:

However, when a dad holding a baby recently caught a foul ball under similar circumstances during a Cubs game, he somehow became an Internet sensation and hero:

Excuse me, but the man interfered with the game AND jeopardized the safety of his child. He ain't no hero to me.
