“Although I do not consider myself worthy of such an honor, I am deeply moved and sincerely grateful to receive an official Chicago Cubs 2016 World Series Championship ring. I am fully aware of the historical significance and appreciate the symbolism the ring represents on multiple levels. My family and I will cherish it for generations. Most meaningful is the genuine outreach from the Ricketts family, on behalf of the Cubs organization and fans, signifying to me that I am welcomed back into the Cubs family and have their support going forward. I am relieved and hopeful that the saga of the 2003 foul ball incident surrounding my family and me is finally over.

I humbly receive the ring not only as a symbol of one of the most historic achievements in sports, but as an important reminder for how we should treat each other in today’s society. My hope is that we all can learn from my experience to view sports as entertainment and prevent harsh scapegoating, and to challenge the media and opportunistic profiteers to conduct business ethically by respecting personal privacy rights and not exploit any individual to advance their own self-interest or economic gain.

Moreover, I am hopeful this ring gesture will be the start of an important healing and reconciliation process for all involved. To that end, I request the media please respect my privacy, and the privacy of my family. I will not participate in interviews or further public statements at this time.

Words alone cannot express my heartfelt thanks to the Ricketts family, Crane Kenney, Theo Epstein, and the entire
Cubs organization for this extraordinary gift, and for providing the City of Chicago and Cubs fans everywhere an
unforgettable World Championship in 2016. I am happy to be reunited with the Cubs family and positively moving
forward with my life.”

That's nice. It was strange how the Ricketts took so long to act on the Bartman issue but better late than never.

Bartman always struck me as classy. He's the only guy in America who didn't take his 15 minutes/payday. Good for him.

I'm actually a little surprised he accepted the ring....glad he did.

Yeah, that's true. Good (and relatively free) publicity, though (and without an expiration date; as long as they discuss Bartman, they'll mention that the team gave him a ring), and a nice gesture to a fan who had been put through the ringer for no good reason.

I see no need to give this guy a ring. WTF? Did Ernie Banks family get one? How about Santo's estate??

I think it's only right that he blow up the ring in a ceremony at Harry Caray's.

Honestly? Have you seen how many rings they've given out? I would almost assume that they did get one.

The Cubs should have retired #21 before they did anything else like this for a fan.

IIRC correctly, they reached out to him when they first took over but he didn't want to get involved with anything.

I think all the beer vendors got a ring. Even Joe Orr got one for pouring a slick glass of Merlot after games at Mia Fransesca.

I was a big fan of Scott Sanderson and Tyler Colvin too but I'm not sure they warrant retirement of a number.
