Chicago, IL - Steve
Bartman, the Chicago Cubs fan
whose foul-ball interference played a part in last year's
Cubs collapse, left his Rogers Park duplex for the first
time in a year Sunday, a day after the Cubs blew their chance
to make the playoffs without any help from any fans. Bartman
looked gaunt and pale but seemed to enjoy inhaling fresh
autumn air. The first two times he flinched noticeably when
approached by passersby, but when they failed to produce
a weapon or at the very least a brick, Bartman relaxed and
actually made it all the way to a convenience store, where
he picked up some Stagg Chili in a can, a bag of Fritos,
and a liter of Sierra Mist. Mayor Richard Daley
has declared Thursday "They Suck All On Their Own"
Day. There will be a drowning in effigy of a giant paper
mache Cub mascot at Navy Pier, followed by a public pardoning
of Bartman.
