Putting a quick end to the will he or won't he autograph spectacle, Steve Bartman is not going to appear at the National Sports Collectors Convention in Rosemont, Illinois. Interestingly, Bartman issued the response through his friend Frank Murtha. Meaning that Bartman himself remains hidden away in a covert chamber somewhere. Where he no doubt continues to listen to his walkman and play Dungeons and Dragons.

Seriously, who has been advising Bartman on his PR moves? He could have put this thing to rest years ago. Instead, the Bartman watch continues.

Reclusive Cubs anti-christ Steve Bartman has incentive to come out into the light of day thanks to a $25k autograph offer from a sports collectors show. According to the Orlando Sentinel this would be the most ever paid to a living person for a single autograph. What exactly does Bartman need to do?

To collect the cash, all Bartman has to do is show up at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill., at 1 p.m. on July 31, prove his identity and sign a photograph of the infamous play. It will then be auctioned on the Web site with the proceeds going to a Chicago-based charity, according to a news release for the publicity stunt event.

Well, the Cubs are in first place and locked in a tough divisional challenge. Maybe it's time for forgiveness? Bartman should go ahead and be a gamer. Hell, why not be a mensch and auction off the walkman too?
