The Bartman Incident | The Mishap That Extended The Cubs' Curse

As summer gave way to fall in 2003, the long-suffering Chicago Cubs found themselves in unfamiliar territory: they were still alive.

Baseball’s most celebrated losers squeaked into the playoffs for the first time in a half-decade, then inexplicably found themselves playing for the National League pennant – four wins away from exorcising demons that had tortured the franchise and their fan base for a generation.

With Chicago on the verge of victory in Game 6, a seemingly innocuous fly ball down the left field line changed the course of history for the franchise and for the unfortunate fan who ended up an unwitting main character and tragic scapegoat in a stunning Cubs collapse.
