Title: Eat Bartman's Ball

From any local AP newsfeed:
QUOTE
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. The Cubs lost the game, and went on to lose the playoffs.

A year ago – after buying the ball at auction for more than $113,000 – Harry Caray's Restaurant had a Hollywood special-effects expert detonate it on live TV.

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.

Proceeds will benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

After eating, some lucky fan will then sell his excretement that contains "traces of the Bartman Ball".

It's a good thing this happened to the Cubs, cuz' otherwise they'd have NOTHING to talk about. I'd think their supposed "diehard" fans would be concerned about the way their team melted down during last season's stretch run...but they're more concerned about stupid stunts that rival the Ted Williams/Boba Fett fiasco.
