I'm amazed at the number of people who continue to blame Steve Bartman for the Cubs not reaching the World Series in 2003 and I expect that number to grow as we approach the 10-year anniversary. Thanks, Chicago Sun-Times, ESPN, and other media outlets who can't let it go and fuel this bullshit. This is just a sampling of the moronic tweets that still target Bartman as a villain almost every day. Fuck all of you.

I didn’t know Steve Bartman was at the Miami game. OKC is getting robbed. #Cubs #Playoffs #SteveBartman #OKC #Robbery

I’m from Chicago and this is literally the first time I’ve known who that umpire was
One day, Mike Everitt won’t simply be known as “the Steve Bartman ump.” Today is not that day. deadsp.in/D6Un

And he would’ve gotten away with it if it weren’t for you pesky kids!
@meganjacobo Well, don’t think I’ll forget what the dastardly Marlins did to the Cubs in 2003 - THANK STEVE BARTMAN.

Oh wow… where to begin…
If you can’t get the year right, at least get the teams right. And if you can’t get the teams right, at least spell the team’s name right. You know what? Never mind. Fuck off entirely.«—- now has an extra ticket to the Braves/Oriels game tomorrow. $50. About where Steve Bartman was sitting in 04.

Probably more than you have
You think Steve Bartman has left his house since that fatal October night in Chi-Town?

FU, Moron. FU
Checking out current baseball stats, I suddenly realize that my Cubbies realistically may never win the World Series. FU Steve Bartman, FU.

Bartman = Terrorist. Really?
Dear Person That Ran Through Barberitos, Do you realize that you just became Johnson City’s Steve Bartman? Total act of terrorism.
