Very good friend of the blog, Richard Baehr, who writes for the American Thinker, was quoted in a New York Times article about the Cubs.
Just then, Richard Baehr, a management consultant who said he owns a tiny stake in the White Sox but is being 'noodged' by (Chicago attorney) Mandler to join him, said, "I hear Steve Bartman just joined your group?"
Baehr was referring to the Cubs fan who, in the 2003 N.L.C.S., interfered with a foul ball at Wrigley that Cubs left fielder Moises Alou could have caught. If the ball had ended up in Alou's glove, the Cubs would have been four outs from the World Series with a three-run lead. Instead, the roof fell in on the Cubs, and the team and its fans were left to contemplate one more miserable incident of black magic, along with the black cat at Shea Stadium that appeared to symbolize doom for Leo Durocher's Cubs in September 1969, and the hex bestowed in 1945 by the angry owner of a World Series-attending, malodorous goat.
