This needs to happen. There were some people that said that he should throw the first pitch in the World Series, but I didn't agree with that, if they'd had lose people would blame him

Cubs fans were assholes with him, only a gesture like that would redeem them

This guy has turned down all kinds of crazy money just to appear in public: $25,000 to sign a ball, a six-figure amount to be in a Super Bowl ad, etc.

He does not want to appear in public. He won't do it, even if the Cubs offer. Leave him alone already.

I don't know if you've heard, but things are a liiiiiiiitle bit different now than before.

What if that isnpart of his long con. Now, with the relief of ending the drought, he starts coming out to do public apperances and cashes in an even larger chunk. Nice. Welp, thats that, for that conspiracy.

he's not going to exploit the incident ever, for better or worse
he's the furthest thing from a nigger

A lot of that may have been out of fear of getting blamed if the Cubs choked. That's completely out of the equation now.

Apologize

There's a big difference between taking a big check to star in a Super Bowl commercial and throwing out the first pitch.

Please god let this happen, it will be the perfect ending to the Bartman story.

Bless you Bartman, you gave us strength tonight.

either way it's exploitative

That quiet dread dawning in that face is always chilling.

THESE SONGS OF FREEDOM

Bartman did nothing wrong

>it's exploitative to throw out a first pitch

OH PIRATES
YES THEY ROB I

in this instance, it is.

Naw. The dude is a huge Cubs fan, period. He's owed an apology, and with the championship in had, the city is ready to give it to him.

All curses are erased. All jinxes are wiped. All immunities are reset. We love Bartman again.

I never stopped loving Bartman

They should have Moises Alou tied up for Bartman to pelt with baseballs

moises was the one fucking guy who defended bartman. He said after the game he wasn't going to catch it. in the heat of the moment he got angry but the rest is on the fans

don't you get it? he doesn't want an apology. he just wants to move on and continue watching the cubs as user. let it be.

I really don't think the Cubs organization reaching out and inviting him to put this thing to rest counts as him exploiting this. It would be a fantastic gesture.

>You wake up tomorrow and find out Bartman's family has revealed to the media that he has been dead for 2 years

>continue watching the cubs as user
I don't know if you heard, but something is a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit different now.

how so? are you saying he's not user? please, enlighten us. where is he?

>2016
>being this clueless

Don't say that.

whatever senpai. the bottom line is he's not going to accept money (commercials) or fame (first pitch) to exploit the foul ball incident because he's not a roody-poo. end of story. drop it.

wait but you can't drop it because you're probably 15 and your generation was raised by roody-poos and you can't understand why someone would want to lead a quiet, dignified life instead of throwing away all their integrity because YOLO RITE?

call me mad

No you faggot, hes a person. He hasn't accepted anything because if they lost he would be blamed again and be in the spotlight again as the asshole.

They won so I guarantee you he will be in commercials next year

Shut up faggot. You are just another bandwagon CUBS fan. Name the batting avg leader in 2015 without looking it up? (You can't).

Nobody cried more tears of joy last night than this man, I guarantee it.

Who's this guy? Red pill me

>Throws pitch
>catches it himself
>fans riot

>literally steals the winning chance ball from his own team
>he's the furthest thing from a nigger

>its a "cubs fans """"""""""""""forgive"""""""""""" bartman" episode

nigger, he has to forgive you

Don't pretend Alex Gonzalez, Dusty Baker, and Mark Prior didn't exist. And they even had a Game 7 AT HOME to win.

He was a long time cubs fan who was at the post season game between the Cubs and the Marlins in 2003.

If I recall correctly it was game 6 and the cubs would've clinched and advanced with a win. The cubs were winning the entire game and with two outs in like the 8th inning the Marlins hit a foul ball to left field.

Alou jumps into the stands to catch the ball but several fans reached out to grab it, pic related being the one who did. Alou gets pissed off cause he feels like it was fan interference but the ball was out of play.

After that cubs fall apart and the Marlins score run after run and take the lead all on two outs. Meanwhile cubs fans start throwing shit at Bartman and harassing him to the point where security had to escort him from the stadium.

The Marlins would go on to win game 7 and advance, eventually winning the world series, and Bartman had to move out of Chicago because he was receiving death threats daily. Despite the fact that he was such a big cubs fan, the headphones he's wearing were because he was listening to the Cubs radio broadcast while at the game.

Ever since he completely dropped off the map and has said he's wanted nothing to with any of it any more.

I wish he would, but he won't. He'll just have his PR friend put out a statement that he's excited about the championship, and thanks the fans.

>fuck up spectacularly
>want to be forgotten
>appear in ads as that guy that fucked up spectacularly
nah

>fuck up spectacularly
>The fan who caught a foul ball fucked up
>Not the paid athletes on the field who then committed two fielding errors, fell apart, and then lost then next game entirely on their own
>its the fan's fault

Cusb "fans" blamed everyone except the players because they are incapable of logic

>a nigger niggered out on an uncatchable ball, forever ruining a man's life
>Nicago, despite having every chance to win it in game 7, blames said man
Color me surprised

i'm not saying it's his fault, it clearly wasn't. but it's what he's know for, and plenty of fans did blame him. it snowballed, and I doubt he wants to make it even more famous. guy probably just wants to live a normal life. maybe he was even dreading this day, knowing his name would pop up again.

It's cool that the Cubs won, as a team, but cubs fans didn't deserve it. They didnt deserve it for another hundred years.

The win doesn't change the fact Cubs fans are massive assholes who ruined this man's life

>The win doesn't change the fact Cubs fans are massive assholes who ruined this man's life
Are you his mother?

Yeah, he was unfairly hounded and vilified, and that sucks. Sometimes memes take on a life of their own. It just happened.

But we didn't kill him, get him fired, or rape his dog. He didn't get maimed in a terrible sausage machine accident. His life is fine ... interesting, even.

So stop getting your leafy panties in a bunch if the city wants to balance the karma scale with the guy, now that the meme is dead. You're just being a no joy faggot at this point.

nah he actually still goes to games, people dont recognize him without the walkman, hat & glasses

and the turtleneck
don't forget about the turtleneck

Still can't believe Cubs ((((fans)))) ruined this guy's life over a foul ball.

He should take an ad offer and donate the money to some Chicago charity. From zero to hero

Didn't he enter the witness protection program? Last I heard he was living in Florida.

fuck off

Is Bartposting the next big meme?

Poor guy

>steals the winning chance ball
>4 feet above gonzalez extended glove

???

You should move to shitcago you subhuman piece of filth. You'd fit right in.

Then Moise later retracted the statement where he said he wasn't going to catch it saying "I never said that"

Thats Shitcago for you. Subhuman capital of the US

>Hey Steve I know we threatened and ruined your life over a foul ball but let's call it square okay? -- Cubs Fans

it's really not, not only did the cubs win the world series, literally everyone realizes the guy was just a scapegoat and completely unfairly blamed. I get it if hes not comfortable with it but its definitely not exploitative, I think the city of chicago probably has lots of love for him.

>I think the city of chicago probably has lots of love for him

You will never ever be this delusional and subhuman. You are truly pathetic Shitcago.

Nope. Still lives in the Chicago area and cheers on the Cubs.

>look mom i can say nigger!

This.

After the incident "He requested that any gifts sent to him by Florida Marlins fans be donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation."

Im sorry

>ruin his life

>haha the cubs won so we're good now, right?

that isnt how it works

Underrated post

just like bill buckner

I guarantee he cried his heart out after the game ended

I really hope he gets some severance from the cubs like throwing out first pitch, meet the team, maybe some suite tickets

the entire fanbase ruined him but now he can no longer be to blame for losing. I bet he got laid too for the first time in his life

CIS white male who oppressed a hardworking Latino.

Wow, I don't even know what happened but I'm fucking triggered.

This guy here has never had a job for sure.

Don't you retards see that now that the curse is gone there is nothing special about this man?

Some Cubs fans blamed Bartman and treated him like garbage, therefore all Cubs fans blamed Bartman and treated him like garbage.

>Logic

good post
fuck that shitcongo faggot and the guy that won't leave bartman alone

Cubs fans are still the same cancer then as they are now.

>None of my team's fans would ever have done that given the same circumstances and long championship drought.

Why didn't the Yankees let Jeffery Meier give out the first pitch in one of the 96 World Series games?

Where is Bill Murray to save this guy?

>ywn watch game 7 with Steve Bartman

More importantly, I wonder what Ja Rule thinks about all of this. Someone get that mother fucker Ja on the phone.

t. nigger

Get this reddit shit outta here faggot

It never was Steve Bartman's fault. It was Bernie Mac's. And now he's dead.

I think some sort of peace offering from the Cubs organization is coming, but in my heart, I wish the individuals who sent him death threats would mail him a letter of apology.
As we've seen this season, there are millions upon millions of Cubs fans. If I received death threats from some of them, it gets to be a numbers game when it comes to finding someone mentally ill enough to actually try it. I imagine those couple dozen letters caused him immensely more grief than the thousands reading "Fuck you."

I'm sorry, I didn't know Bartman caused the cubs to lose game 5 too.
