This is no matter how talentless or despicable they are - hell, Kato Kaelin is still on my TV! But that’s not how life worked for Steve Bartman.

Everyone knows who Steve Bartman is. He’s the Wrigley Field fan in the 2003 NLCS that got in the way of Moises Alou’s catch attempt, cursing the Cubs to yet another year without a World Series appearance.
