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)
