Steve Bartman might be the happiest guy in Chicago.
Bartman, the man often blamed for the Cubs’ misfortunes in 2003, was forgiven by internet users everywhere Wednesday night after Chicago defeated the Indians in Game 7 of the World Series at Progressive Field in Cleveland.
Admittedly, Bartman wasn’t discovered — at least to our knowledge — amid the city’s raucous celebration. And it’s still ridiculous that some Cubs fans ever blamed him for the team’s 2003 National League Championship Series collapse against the Florida Marlins after he deflected a foul ball in the eighth inning of Game 6 that Moises Alou might have been able to catch.
But all is forgiven, it seems, now that the Cubs sit atop the Major League Baseball mountain. Several athletes — and countless others — verified such by flooding Twitter.
