Cubs issue World Series ring to Bartman
CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs want their most notorious fan to share in their 2016 World Series championship.
The Cubs announced Monday they were giving a World Series ring to Steve Bartman, who deflected a foul ball that might have landed in left fielder Moises Alou’s glove with Chicago five outs from the World Series in 2003.
Bartman was harassed after the incident and has avoided the spotlight since. The Cubs say they “hope this provides closure on an unfortunate chapter” and Bartman “continues to be fully embraced by this organization.”
Bartman released a statement saying he is “deeply moved and sincerely grateful.” He praised team owners and called the ring a reminder of “how we should treat each other in today’s society.”
