  • Hallowed Place, Toxic Space: 'Celebrating' Steve Bartman And
    . Volume 15, Issue 1 May 2018 Hallowed place, toxic space: ‘Celebrating’ Steve Bartman and Chicago Cubs’ Fan Pilgrimage Lincoln Geraghty, University of Portsmouth, UK Abstract: This paper is about travelling and exploring, assessing the historical importance of fan pilgrimages and the geographic spaces in which, and through which, fans travel to get closer to their object of fandom. But it also about how those spaces can become toxic, acting as painful reminders of the object turned bad, tragic failure and community rejection. Through a case study of the Steve Bartman incident during the 2003 National League baseball championship playoff game between the Chicago Cubs and Florida Marlins at Wrigley Field, and an auto-ethnographic study of the physical grounds and stadium, I present ongoing research into fan tourism and sports fandom. The vitriolic reception Bartman received when he inadvertently interfered with a potentially game-winning play that might have seen the Cubs reach their first World Series since 1945 highlights toxic fan behavior familiar to many sports. However, that the seat he occupied on the night serves as an unofficial monument to that moment suggests that even in great controversy and disappointment, Cubs fans find physical space and ‘being there’ just as important to winning or celebrating success. Fans of the Cubs are open in describing themselves as the unlucky losers (e.g. not having won the World Series since 1908 until only this past season), building a fan identity defined by a so- called ‘curse’ and based on years of past failures. Therefore, what happened around the Bartman incident and the fact that his seat is a fan tourist site visited by baseball fans and Cub enthusiasts alike tells us that being a fan is not just about celebrating the good or remembering the great but also about recognizing the bad and mourning the worst.

  • Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame to Induct Four New Members And
    Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame to Induct Four New Members and Honour a Belt of Orion Recipient in 2017 Wetaskiwin, Alberta – November 14, 2016… Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame (CAHF) will induct four new members, and recognize a Belt of Orion recipient, at its 44th annual gala dinner and ceremony, to be held Thursday June 15, 2017, at Vancouver International Airport. The new members are: • James Erroll Boyd: WWI pilot and co-founder of the Air Scouts of Canada • Robert John Deluce: Aviation executive; Founder of Porter Airlines • Daniel A Sitnam; Aviation executive; Founder of Helijet Airways and Pacific Heliport Services • Rogers Eben Smith: NASA and NRC test pilot; RCAF Pilot • Royal Canadian Air Force "Golden Hawks" aerobatic team: Belt of Orion Award for Excellence CAHF inductees are selected for their contributions to Canada’s development through their integral roles in the nation’s aviation history. This year’s inductees will join the ranks of the 224 esteemed men and women inducted since the Hall’s formation in 1973. Rod Sheridan, CAHF chairman of the board of directors, said, “The CAHF is proud to honour these four well-deserving individuals for their significant contributions to Canadian aviation, and to Canada’s development as a nation. “Our 2017 inductees come from backgrounds that span the width of Canada’s unique aviation industry. Aviation has brought Canadians together as a country, unlike any other form of transport. Our new inductees reflect that cohesion through their pioneering activities and spirit.” James Errol Boyd was an early entrant into the Royal Naval Air Service from the Canadian Infantry, flew anti Zeppelin operations over the UK and coastal patrols from Dunkirk until being interned in the Netherlands.

    January 26, 2015 CSNChicago.com Mr. Cub: Ernie Banks did it his way By Patrick Mooney A man walked down Addison Street late Saturday morning with a bouquet of flowers, placing it at the makeshift shrine outside Wrigley Field.
