“Steve Bartman has received an official Chicago Cubs 2016 World Series Championship ring as a special gift from the Ricketts family and the Cubs organization.
Arguably the team’s most infamous fan, Bartman is remembered for tipping a foul ball that left fielder Moises Alou unsuccessfully dove for in the stands during Game 6 of the 2003 National League Championship Series.
Now, 14 years later, Cubs owner Tom Ricketts thought it was high time to extend an olive branch.” More from WGN HERE
I think it is well deserved and am so glad he accepted the ring and broke his silence. Even though I didn’t live in Chicago at this time, watching the 30 for 30 about Bartman broke my heart. I hope that he will feel comfortable enough to come out to a game this season, I would sure like to shake his hand.
