Why I'll almost always root against the Cubs.

It’s actually pretty incredible that Bartman has pretty much disappeared from the face of the earth. Wonder if he changed his name. Obviously had to do a lot of work to stay hidden This day and age that’s hard to do

There’s an ESPN 30 for 30 on it. Great watch!

Read an article on him a while back. He refuses interviews and lives a quiet life. Doesn’t look the same.

Seems Ike a decent guy. Never tried to get his 15 minutes of fame. Just moved on. Have to admire that.

Feel bad for him

It was good but a few of the assholes that were interviewed who bragged about throwing
Beer and stuff pissed me off too much and ruined it.

He is still in Chicago and has been back to Wrigley Field for games. The Cubs gave him a World Series ring last summer, and he made a statement then.

All Alex Gonzalez has to do is field the easiest double play ball ever instead he boots it.

Bartman had nothing to do with it. Just another excuse

Exactly. I lost it more on that than the Bartman play

I maybe incorrect as well. I thought I remembered reading something about him going to games when the story came out about him receiving that ring, but I can't find any articles stating that now. I thought I remembered someone saying his appearance is pretty different now, so it would be pretty difficult to recognize him. Could just be speculation though.

One of several reasons why the Cubs fan base is trash. They weren't good enough to win in 2003, so they went with the simple excuse and blamed poor Bartman for it, and downright embarrassed him for no reason. Cubs fans can go frick themselves.

Can remember exactly where I watched this game, this was the fist time my then girlfriend, now wife, got to see the crazy sports fan side of me. One of the toughest days ever as a fan.
