“Not too many people were happy,” Frank Kaminsky said, after wearing Bartman jersey to Wrigley
Former Badger wore jersey to Bulls game, as well
CHICAGO — Former Wisconsin Badgers center Frank Kaminsky has done his best to bring some bad luck to the Chicago Cubs as they look to continue their playoff run.
Kaminsky showed up for Monday night’s NBA preseason matchup with the Bulls in Chicago wearing a Steve Bartman Cubs jersey and wore the jersey on the Wrigely rooftop Monday night.

“Not too many people were happy,” Kaminsky told Garfien, who posted on Twitter.
Kaminsky grew up in suburban Chicago and is a fan of the Cubs’ crosstown-rival Chicago White Sox.
Garfien also Tweeted: “Asked Kaminsky why the bitterness towards the Cubs. ‘There is a sense of jealousy. I’m a White Sox fan. I don’t want to see them do well.'”
The Cubs had a 3-0 lead over the Marlins and were five outs from making their first World Series since 1945 in the 2003 National League Championship Series when Bartman deflected a foul ball that appeared destined to land in left fielder Moises Alou’s glove. The Cubs went on to lose the game and the series.
