It’s a hot button topic for Chicago Cubs‘ fans and the media alike. Cubs owner Tom Rickett’s would like to reach out to Steve Bartman to help “provide closure” and help lift the burden that he’s felt since that fateful fall day in 2003. But the question remains, should he even be bothered?
Since that day, Bartman hasn’t spoken publicly about the “incident”, which was really just what every other fan would try to do. Catch a foul ball. Fans seemed to ignore that one of the best fielding shortstops that year–Alex Gonzalez–booted what would have been an inning-ending double play.
