Steve Bartman has a terrible place in Chicago Cubs history, but the team has hopefully erased that by giving the infamous Cubs fan a World Series ring...

quote:
"On behalf of the entire Chicago Cubs organization, we are honored to present a 2016 World Series Championship Ring to Mr. Steve Bartman," Ricketts and the Cubs said in a statement. "We hope this provides closure on an unfortunate chapter of the story that has perpetuated throughout our quest to win a long-awaited World Series.

"While no gesture can fully lift the public burden he has endured for more than a decade, we felt it was important Steve knows he has been and continues to be fully embraced by this organization. After all he has sacrificed, we are proud to recognize Steve Bartman with this gift today."

Then Bartman released this statement...

There were 5 other people reaching for that ball. He was just the unlucky one who happened to be right in its path. Every person would have instinctively reached for a ball heading right for them.
