ROSEMONT, Ill. - Steve Bartman refused yet another offer to cash in on his infamy following his interference with a foul ball in the Chicago Cubs’ 2003 playoff loss to the Florida Marlins.

Bartman’s friend Frank Murtha said the infamous fan won’t accept an offer of $25,000 to attend the National Sports Collectors Convention and autograph a photograph of him tipping a foul ball. The ball seemed destined for Cubs outfielder Moises Alou’s glove during the critical game.

Bartman was vilified by Cubs fans, who thought he helped prevent the team from reaching the World Series for the first tome since 1945. Alou has since said he wouldn’t have caught the ball.

Bartman has declined all offers to appear or make money off his brush with fame.
