Frank Kaminsky, Cubs Twitter Account Trade Barbs over Steve Bartman Jersey
Frank Kaminsky continues to wage war against the Chicago Cubs.
The Charlotte Hornets center and Chicago White Sox supporter showed up to his NBA preseason game at the United Center on Monday wearing a customized Steve Bartman jersey:
A sore subject for Cubs fans, Bartmanย interfered with a foul ball during the 2003 National League Championship Series. It's lazy and unfair to blame him for losing the game and series, but he has become an infamous symbol of heartbreak for a team that hasn't won the World Series since 1908.

The Cubs' Twitter account took umbrage at Kaminsky's trolling and subtly jabbed back:
Their opponent noticed and went back to the Bartman well:
When the Cubs' feed noted his repetitiveness, he conceded while reminding them of Clayton Kershaw's gem in the Los Angeles Dodgers' Game 2 victory Sunday night:
Despite the Cubs' shot at Wisconsin's 2015 NCAA championship loss to Duke, Kaminsky got the last laugh:
Don't expect those running the Cubs' social media account to let Kaminsky off the hook if they finally win it all. It's far more likely than the Hornets making a deep playoff run.
