Re: Steve Bartman gets World Series ring
I don't understand why he accepted the ring.
From what I have read, the team has reached out to him on numerous occasions, offering him various things such as tickets back to the games along with other things to try and "clear the air" so to say from the whole fiasco. He declined them all until this point.
Personally I think the whole thing is just silly. From the Cubs fans vilifying him for the foul ball incident, to him getting a WS ring.
He was just a fan at the game doing something every other fan tries to do at a game. He wanted to catch a souvenir ball and it affected Alou from getting an out. Big deal. The fact that he had to go into hiding to protect himself and his family for 13 years is just plain stupid and the fact that he is getting WS ring because of this is just as silly in my eyes.
That's just me I guess. I don't see why he is willing to take this gesture from the Cubs now after numerous attempts from the Cubs organization to offer closure on an ugly incident.
Whatever.
