Dalton talking about how he has "opened his eyes" to other dimensions, metaphysics, etc....

Check out this quote:

 

The 44-year-old Daulton said he first realized that more was happening than what meets the eye during the 1997 season after he had been traded to the Florida Marlins.

 

He recalled getting a game-winning hit against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

 

"That was the first time I realized it," he said. "I remember coming out of the stadium and I started crying. (His second wife Nicole, whom he is divorcing) said, 'What's wrong? You just got the game-winning hit.' And I said, 'I didn't hit that ball. Something happened, but it wasn't me.'"

 

...against the CUBS. It's the curse, I'm telling you. God damn you vile Goat! :x

Look at how many people in the world subscribe to every kind of religion. Sometimes, there's just no explaining it other than people want to believe in those things so badly that they end up doing it.

Carl Sagan wrote a good book on this topic: "The Demon Haunted World".

 

Also good: "Why People Believe Weird Things" by Michael Shermer

As for Daulton, I liked this quote:

 

"I don't know what words to use so people won't think I'm goofy."

 

Here's a few words he should try: "Just kidding about all that metaphysical b.s."

[GhostRunner]

Christ, where do you people get off? So the guy's got some unusual beliefs and a world view that you either disagree with or simply don't understand. Does that warrant insults and belittling commentary?

 

Get over yourselves.

[fiver]

Daulton has every right to believe what he desires, but the following doesn't support his case.

 

the epiphany occurred at one of baseball's holiest shrines -- Wrigley Field. "I hit a line-drive just inside the third base line to help win a game," he recalls. "The strange thing was I didn't hit that ball. I never hit balls inside the third base line!"

 

hmmm..

 

also

 

Daulton claims the accident was a result of getting run off the road in lieu of a business deal with ties to the FBI and the White House

 

He claims the accident was due to a conspiracy, and I'm guessing he was just coincidentally very intoxicated???? As I stated, he's entitled to believe what he wants. My belief is that he is a bit delusional, and suffers from paranoia.

 

Maybe I'm wrong.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hey.... just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me !! :wink:

[Soul]

Yeah, what's the whole deal with the FBI and the White House?

 

That sounds like some schizo/mambo B.S. to me 8)

 

I know he's entitled to his views. I'm also entitled to call them wacko. Who knows who is right? I guess we'll find out in 2012....

[soccer10k]

Since then, Daulton has had numerous problems away from baseball — including a horrific January 2001 car accident that led to a drunken driving arrest.

 

Did they give Daulton a breathalizer before doing the interview? He might have been drinking again.

My guess? He decided after a night of drinking that he was going to prove to everyone that he was able to "change" weather patterns and create very balmy 90 degree weather conditions in New England on that cool January night in 2001. The FBI caught wind of this, and could not have him revealing his legitimacy to everyone. Mass hysteria would be involved if everyone knew that the world will be coming to an end in late 2012, right? They foiled his plan by forcing him off the road and into the tree. It was only a warning, and Daulton has not made a subsequent attempt to showcase his ability to change weather.

 

To answer the original question in this thread, yes...this very well could prove that the Chicago Cubs are cursed.

Maybe it just proves that Wrigley has a strange effect on people. In Dalton's case, a VERY strange effect. :lol:
