if you go actor, John Cusack probably gets it. He's been a big fan for a long time and actually attends games.


Yeah he's a real fan...

He is actually a big fan. knows the players, the team history. So what if he's been to a few Sox games, so have I. I've been to a couple dozen, including the 2nd game of the ALDS series VS Boston in 2005. It was fun and exciting. I have also been to a Brewers playoff game. Doesn't make me a Brewers fan. I love the game and playoff Baseball is great theater. Cusack is most definitely a Cubs fan, first and foremost, as is his sister Joan.

I'd like to make him swallow that Sox cap with mustard and grilled onions. Fair weather, front runnin', Dr. Who scarf wearin' indoor boy from Evanston.

I think most people would indulge in some of the perks that go along with being a celebrity.

Still alive, but he's gotta be close to 100. He would actually be a good choice if he can still get around.

Seriously??? I remember when the Wrigley family sold the team, one of the conditions, was that Yosh be retained as clubhouse Manager for as long as he wanted to remain in the job.

Besides Yosh, I think Wrigley put in a caveat that Salty Saltwell would have a job for life as well.

Every year in Arizona, Yosh bought some land.

I like the Yosh call!

they would never do this, and neither would he, but i think that would be awesome gesture if they made the world series. as stupid as the Cubs and certain fans have been regarding this guys place in cubs history it would be great to finally let this guy off the hook. i just watched that movie "Catching Hell" and have to say that moment in time was hard to watch not because of what Bartman did wrong, but because of what the Cubs, their fans, and the media covering the event did.

Yeah, he made it worse though by issuing an apology and going into hiding. There was a pack of dudes reaching for that ball. I really think he was the guy that got tagged with it because of the way he was dressed, the headphones, and the deer caught in the headlights look he put on. He should have thrown a punch at the guy throwing beer at him. And at least if his name was going to become synonymous with the goat, he could have put a million bucks or so in his pocket. He's had the opportunities.

i actually admire his silence on the matter and his desire to be left alone. the fact that he does not want to profit off of the worst cubs failure in the teams history speaks volumes to me about how much the guy cares (cared) for the team. at least he isn't a meatball shill out there making an ass out of himself.
