A “Steve Bartman” Moment
On Saturday, September 13th, former Cubs player and World Series champion Anthony Rizzo returned to Wrigley Field. Just three days earlier, he officially retired from Major League Baseball on September 10th, the same day Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a sharpshooter. Kirk was a big fan of the Chicago Cubs.
During the game, Rizzo was involved in a rather remarkable play, when a home run was hit directly to his seat in the bleachers. The ball bounced off his hand and into the arms a fan sitting behind him:
That home run came off the bat of Moises Ballesteros, and it was his very first career home run. The name Ballesteros means crossbowman or archer – perfect for a player who nailed his target:
His first name Moises reminds us of an important player in Chicago lore – Moises Alou, who was involved in one of the most famous plays in baseball history, and perhaps the defining moment of the Cubs’ 108-year curse – the Steve Bartman incident, when a fan reached over the railing to catch a foul ball, preventing Alou from recording the out:
This happened less than one month after Ballesteros was born. It was Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS, when the Cubs were up 3 games to 2 and leading by a score of 3-0. Immediately after this play, shortstop Alex Gonazalez, who was wearing #8, committed an error that led to the Cubs surrendering 8 runs in the 8th inning, costing them the game that was being played along the 88th parallel. Naturally, they lost the following game as well, costing them a trip to the World Series for the first time in 58 years.
Anthony Rizzo was born on 8/8
8+8 = 16. In the year ’16, the Cubs finally did win the World Series by scoring 8 runs, with 8 different players getting an RBI. This ended the Curse of the Billy Goat.
Enneadecaeteris is the Greek word for the Metonic cycle. The 8th Prime number is 19, the number of years in the cycle.
The Cubs lost that special game to the Florida Marlins, who are now the Miami Marlins. In the 1985 film Back to the Future, where time travel is achieved at 88 miles per hour, Doc and Marty travel to the year 2015 to discover the Cubs have defeated Miami in the World Series. This is especially noteworthy, as Miami didn’t even have a baseball team yet when the movie came out:
2/14 was the date of the Stoneman Douglas shooting
The date can also be written as 14/2. The equation 14/2 = 7.
Anthony Vincent Rizzo attended Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where a man named Nicholas Cruz reportedly killed 17 of his classmates in a high school massacre:
The ball hit to Steve Bartman came off the bat of Luis Castillo.
Charlie Kirk Assassination
In 2017, after the Cubs finally won the World Series, they gifted an honorary World Series ring to Steve Bartman.
A lot of the conspiracy theories on the assassination of Charlie Kirk have to do with the ring that moves from his ring finger to his pinky. This appears to be connected to King Charles, who wears a similar pinky ring, and the fact that he died on the anniversary of the assassination of John the Fearless, whose most famous portrait shows him holding a ring.
1331 is the ultimate Eclipse number
Anthony Rizo was born on 8/8/89:
Rizzo retired with the Cubs on the 13th of September, or 13/9
Consider how the killing of Charlie Kirk, who was a lifelong fan of the Cubs, is inciting the conservatives, while the killing of George Floyd incited the liberals.
October 14th is 10/14
Back to the Future premiered on a date with Primary numerology of 114, an important number to Major League Baseball:
George Floyd was killed on May 25th, or 5/25:
The Parkland shooting happened in 2018
The Cubs paid tribute to Anthony Rizzo on a date with a Life Lesson number of 31, during Brown Lunation # 127:
Charlie Kirk died at age 31
The 31st Prime number is 127
Recall how important this number was in my first post on his murder.
More Notes
Part 2 of my work on Charlie Kirk focuses on the number 118.
Charlie Kirk was 972 weeks old when Turning Point USA was formed. 9720 days old when George Floyd died. Luis Castillo and Moises Alou were born a span of 9 years, 72 days apart.
