9/10

"Every single "sports fan" taking part in this documentary was and is a dillusional idiot. So butthurt because a fan supposedly interfered with a ball when their team was up 3-0. Give me a break...."

After Winning the 2016 World Series, Steve Bartman received a championship ring from Cubs owner Tom Ricketts and the Ricketts family as a special gift on July 31, 2017. The Cubs said in a statement, "We hope this provides closure on an unfortunate chapter of the story that has perpetuated throughout our quest to win a long-awaited World Series. While no gesture can fully lift the public burden he has endured for more than a decade, we felt it was important Steve knows he has been and continues to be fully embraced by this organization. After all he has sacrificed, we are proud to recognize Steve Bartman with this gift today."
