Yeah. He's really tried to stay under the radar and who can blame him. I'm surprised he accepted the ring.

He didn't want anything in the stadium which makes sense. A "Steve Bartman Appreciation Day" was a horrible idea.

Nothing was stopping them from a public apology from the organization.

If Eddie Vedder gets a ring then so can Bartman. They probably gave him the cheap one the janitors got.

They should have a ceremony at Wrigley where Bartman pees on Alous hands . Let the healing begin.

Do you think they would dig Steve Goodman up and put a ring on his finger?

Any word on whether he had to sign the contract not to sell it (or to sell back to the Cubs for $1?) as all the other recipients did? Ironically, the players were exempt from that stipulation, but as the Bartman ring appears to be a player-level ring, I wonder.

This Bartman thing is odd, but how about the commercial with Rizzo and the boy with cancer to sell tickets? WTF.

I agree. I find that commercial in bad taste as well. You would think the REALLY SMART PEOPLE at the Cubs would know not to exploit a kid with cancer to sell tickets.

I thought it was always said that Rizzo goes to the children hospitals without cameras. Guess not.

It's not even like the Cubs need to run commercials to sell tickets after early May. They're sold out from that point on.

They should've given him a ring with Moises Alou's name on it.

The guy seems like he just wants to be left alone, so leave him the hell alone. His life was already ruined.

There is no team that fetishizes losing incidents like the cubbies.
