Five Years Since Bartman Incident

So, it has been five years since Steve Bartman became a scapegoat for obnoxious Cubs fans everywhere. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long, but at the same time, it feels like a century ago…

Of course, we all know Alou would have never caught that ball even if Bartman never touched it, the Cubs had two innings and another freakin’ game to make up for the alleged sin, Bartman had nothing to do with the horrible error committed by Alex Gonzalez in that same inning and pretty much every fan that’s ever been to a game would have reacted the exact same way if a ball was coming towards them.

Anyway, Bartman has been in hiding pretty much ever since it happened. Every once in a while a story comes out about the incident, but few have been as good as the one that came out today in the Palm Beach Post. How can you not feel sorry for the guy? He seems like a total class act.

That doesn’t make it less funny (in that “Ah, Cubs fans really are clinically insane” way) that many Cubs fans have not let it go at all and still say “Bartman” like it’s a swear word.

This is kind of funny though (it’s censored, but probably still not safe for work):

P.S. the above video will make more sense if you’ve seen THIS and THIS before. They are also NSFW.
