On a classier note, the Chicago Cubs have awarded a World Series ring to Steve Bartman. Steve who? Bartman was the fan who reached out and grabbed a probable catch of a foul fly from the out-stretched glove of Cubs' left fielder Moises Alou in Game 6 of the 2003 National League Championship Series. The Cubs had the wheels fall off after that and the entire city blamed Bartman for the Cubs' el foldo and bombing out of the series. He received death threats and all sorts of continuing invective for years afterwards. The Ricketts family, who now own the Cubs, say they wanted to finally put an end to this unfortunate chapter and did so very visibly by awarding Bartman a ring. To err is human; to forgive divine. Well done Ricketts family!
