You can't be serious about Bartman being the one to blame for the Cubs not being in the world series and Mark Prior's career not panning out. For one, Dusty Baker pitched Prior's arm into oblivion. Second, it wasn't Bartman's fault that they went on to get roped in that game, and then lost the next game as well.
