Why Do They Still Blame Steve Bartman?

Cubs fan Steve Bartman has suffered long enough. The man who was vilified by many for his part in an infamous 2003 baseball incident at Wrigley Field, deserves to be forgiven. At the time, and for years after, some people blamed Bartman's act for the Cubs losing that year's NLCS, and for their failure to advance to the World Series. Since the Cubs are now, finally, in the Fall Classic after a 71-year draught, it is the perfect time to give this guy a break.
