Marlins coach Perry Hill goes through the same ritual every season when the Marlins play their one series at Wrigley Field. Just before batting practice, he walks down the left field line, takes out his camera, snaps a picture of one seat in particular — Aisle 4, Row 8, Seat 113 — and posts it on Instagram.
It was Steve Bartman’s seat.
“That’s where the drama started,” Hill said.
It’s been 15 years seasons Bartman got his hands on a foul ball in the top of the eighth inning in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series, with the Cubs five outs away from advancing to the World Series, when the fortunes of both the Marlins and Cubs changed in an instant.
