If you were 5 outs away from the world series and you went to catch a ball basically on the dividing line between the field and the stands that would make you 4 outs from the world series and some dude with stupid headphones knocked the ball away, you would, in the heat of the moment, stop to rationally think things through? You would stop to think, "Everyone makes mistakes, back to business as usually." and calmly walk away? Not saying Alou is excused, but thats an intense situation. Did he say anything afterwords? Apology? Announce that it was his own fault?
