Pride or Money?

Everyone remembers the greatest scapegoat of the last decade-Steve Bartman. Ever since he interfered with that foul bal in game 6 he has been blamed for yet another Cubs collapse-despite the fact that they still could have closed out that game or even won game 7. But this is not why I am writing about Bartman.

Many of us would have taken their 15 seconds of fame and found some way to cash in, but Bartman has repeatedly turned down interview requests, book and tv movie deals in recent years. He even turned down an offer to be completely relocated to FL free of charge. Well now the most intriguing offer yet has been made-though not the most lucrative. All he has to do is show up to Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois and sign a single autograph on a picture of the infamous play.

Here is betting he turns this down to, and here is hoping that he does. I think that Steve Bartman is one of the single greatest Cubs fans ever. Lets not kid outselves anyone sitting there would have gone for that ball-but most of those people who have been hating on him all these years would have lept at. But Bartman has enough pride in himself as a Cubs fan not to cash in on one of the hardest moments in Cubs history.

Now with all that said-I would take the money.

Edit-First Take reported this morning that Bartman has turned down the offer
