I had to take a deep breath, I had to stop myself from dying of laughter , I had to read it again.

From the BBC today.

The Chicago Cubs - baseball team - up by 3 to zip against the Florida Marlins, were denied their victory by an excited fan. Mr Bartman seeking fame for life leaped up and grabbed a long 'out' ball therby denying his own team's fieldperson efforts to catch it.

The incident some assert put a curse on the team, and they lost the game, the Cubs lost 8-3.

The Governor has offered Steve a place on the 'witness protection program', a City Councilor has offered him funded asylum in Alaska and
to add insult to injury Mr Barman has been offered free accomdation and protection IN FLORIDA by Mr Jed Bush Governor of Florida.
