Quotes[]

Lisa Santoro: You're telling me, this guy got killed because he reached for a foul ball?
Lennie Briscoe: And the suspect list is the Greater New York phone book.
Ed Green: I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but I'm actually starting to feel real sorry for this dude...
Lennie Briscoe: Hey, we were one out away from the World Series!

Background information and notes[]

  • This episode was inspired by the Steve Bartman incident during the 2003 National League Championship Series between the Chicago Cubs & Florida Marlins (Game 6, 8th inning.)
    • In show, people in New York (including the detectives) are mad that a New York baseball team didn't make the World Series. In real life, the New York Yankees did advance to the World Series in 2003, losing to the Florida Marlins.
