Bartman

Really nice and classy gesture by the Chicago Cubs.

They just gave Bartman a World Series ring.

From Bartman himself:

Although I do not consider myself worthy of such an honor, I am deeply moved and sincerely grateful to receive an official Chicago Cubs 2016 World Series Championship ring. I am fully aware of the historical significance and appreciate the symbolism the ring represents on multiple levels. My family and I will cherish it for generations. Most meaningful is the genuine outreach from the Ricketts family, on behalf of the Cubs organization and fans, signifying to me that I am welcomed back into the Cubs family and have their support going forward. I am relieved and hopeful that the saga of the 2003 foul ball incident surrounding my family and me is finally over.

This may be nothing more than a P.R. stunt.

But I tend to think not.

Kudos to the Cubbies.

Out for now.......
