You remember Steve Bartman, right?
Of course, you do. He's the most notorious fan in all of sports:
The playoff-bound Chicago Cubs are trying to make things right after Bartman was made out to be some sort of villain in 2003. A GoFundMe account started by a fellow fan has emerged with a goal of $5,000 in mind. The purpose is to send Bartman to the NL Wild Card game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Here's what the page says:
Lifelong Cubs fan wants to make amends for 2003, lets make it happen. First we need to find him to get him to the big game. If anyone knows where he is at, tell him we are looking for him. The money would pay for his expenses including his ticket, hotel room, flights and a little spending money.
If he cannot be found by time of the big game all the proceeds raised will be donated to the Alzheimer's Association.
Bartman has been lying low since 2003's infamous play when he deflected a potential foul ball catch from a Cubs player, so it's unclear whether he'd be willing to accept the offer.
