Cubs owner to contact Bartman 'at the right time'
After putting the "Curse of the Billy Goat" out to pasture, Chicago Cubs owner Tom Ricketts is looking to make peace with another one of the historical "ghosts" that have haunted the team over the years.
Having ended the Cubs' 108-year World Series championship drought, Ricketts now wants to contact Steve Bartman.
"It was just so important for this organization to put this lovable loser crap to bed,'' Ricketts told USA Today Sports on Wednesday.
Bartman was vilified in Chicago for a failed attempt to catch a foul ball during Game 6 of the 2003 National League Championship Series between the Cubs and Marlins, a game the Cubs went on to lose.
