EASIER JUST TO TRADE FOR SCHILLING (via Rick Turley):
'Bartman ball' pieces to be served up in sauce to Cub fans (ABC, February 15, 2005)
A Chicago restaurant has cooked up a promotional scheme involving what's left of the infamous foul ball. It's the one that deflected off Cub fan Steve Bartman during Game Six of the National League Championship Series in 2003.Posted by Orrin Judd at February 21, 2005 2:36 PMA year ago -- after buying the ball at auction for more than 113-thousand-dollars -- Harry Caray's Restaurant had a Hollywood special-effects expert detonate it on live T-V.
Now, Harry Caray's plans to soak the ball's remnants in Budweiser and brew it up into a "curse-ending sauce" that will be served on spaghetti to willing Cub fans next week.
You stole our pitcher! Give him back!

They are even claiming that Jason Giambi is going to play first this year, rather than starring in a remake of 'The Incredible Shrinking Man.'
