Leave The Boy Alone
Bartman's travails stinks of the 1990 song "Do the Bartman," sung by Nancy Cartwright (as the voice of Bart Simpson):

It wasn't long ago, just a couple of weeks,
I got in trouble, yeah, pretty deep
Homer was yellin', Mom was too,
Because I put mothballs in the beef stew

Punishment time, in the air lurks gloom,
Sitting by myself, confined to my room
When all else fails, nothin' else left to do,
I turn on the music, so I can feel the groove . . .

Everybody, if you can, do the Bartman


Someone seems to have had the same idea. An online petition (do your own google) urges the Cubbies:

By all accounts, The Fan [Bartman] is a diehard fan, one that simply got caught up in the moment--as were dozens of others--of snagging a keepsake from a NLCS game. In an attempt for the Chicago Cubs and Tribune Company to continue to exhibit the standard of class and excellent fan relations that it has in the past, in an effort to atone for the threats and insults hurled at this ordinary man that did a silly thing, and to finally put this nonsense of a "curse" behind this storied franchise once and for all . . .

We, the undersigned, request that The Fan be invited to sing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" at Wrigley Field during the Seventh Inning of Game Three of the World Series on Tuesday, October 21, 2003.

Since Wrigley Field will be empty throughout the world series, that's more or less the equivalent of grounding him and sending him to bed without his milk.

Unless the Yankees win, and The Boss has a say.

You gotta know that "kid" earns season pinstripes when we blow off the BoSox. Boss George just found his 2003 Jeffery Maier

Let the nutiness begin!
