Brokenhearted Cubs fan apologizes for deflecting ball

'Truly sorry from the bottom of this Cubs fan's broken heart'


(excerpt)

Bartman apologized to Cubs fans everywhere, adding he was “truly sorry from the bottom of this Cubs fan’s broken heart.”

“I ask that Cub fans everywhere redirect the negative energy that has been vented towards my family, my friends, and myself into the usual positive support for our beloved team on their way to being National League champs,” Bartman said.


Angry broadcasters castigated him. A local newspaper found in a Web poll that thousands of people blamed him for playing a role in the Cubs’ loss. Even the governor weighed in.

“Nobody can justify any kind of threat to someone who does something stupid like reach for that ball,” Gov. Rod Blagojevich said.

In Florida, Gov. Jeb Bush said an offer of asylum to Bartman might be a good idea, and an oceanfront retreat in Pompano Beach offered him a free three-month stay if he needed to get out of Chicago
.


I think he should take that offer.
