True. Never really thought about it that way.

Hey, I'm a Steve Bartman fan, I wanted the Marlins to win.

Re: Steve Bartman Trading Card on eBay!

Actually, I think it's cute. Alot of responses here are as if this card has been taken as a serious threat to all mankind. Come on, guys. I'm sure even Steve knows it's just a silly card, and it says so on the page that it's intended for ammusement. If people were trying to attack the guy, they'd be ripping up cards like this, not creating them. I'm sure alot of people like him because they were rooting for the Fish, but personally, and I know alot of Baseball fans agree with me, we just like him because he unintentionally threw himself into Baseball History in one of the silliest plays imaginable. It's not a threat to anyone, and anyone who sees Steve Bartman as some "Evil Person" needs to seek asylum, Mental Asylum.

Ok, is it just me or does anyone else think that the addition of line stats might be appropriate for the back of that card ?

I mean, he does have one error.

Re: Steve Bartman Trading Card on eBay!

I really do wish people would leave him alone. Anyone else would have made the exact mistake he did, and I can bet you anything that if he had seen Moises Alou running for the ball he would have backed off. How many of you guys have had a baseball hit to you while you were attending a game. When it's coming to you the only thing you're thinking about is getting the ball. How many of you looked down before you jumped for a foul ball heading your way? Not many.

Having said all that the card is still really creative. Someone obviously spent some time on that.

Re: Steve Bartman Trading Card on eBay!

I think the time of people being angry at him is probably past. But, to think that people will forget him is wishful thinking. He is a part of baseball history as much as the goat now. He is quite possibly the goat in the human form.

I got a kick out of his father coming to his defense in the days following the game saying that he taught his boy to always go after foul balls. The thought of this boy being trained from a young age for this one moment, really kind of makes it seem quite possibly his destiny... his purpose in life if you will.

The drought has been roughly 58 years I believe, and I think it would be interesting to find out how old Steve's father is. Is it possible that he is 58 years old ? Maybe his birth coincided with the beginning of the Curse of the Goat. Is it possible that his purpose in life was to raise the boy who would carry on the curse ?

"He came unto His own, and His own received Him not."

Well... I guess if you believe that life revolves around baseball, this might need some more investigation.

My advice to the Bartman is to embrace it. I think if the Cubs organization was smart, they would embrace him too by getting him tickets to all home playoffs games in the future - skybox seats of course.

(Yes, my tongue is firmly planted in my cheek)
