Convention Offering $25K For Bartman Autograph

A sports-collector convention and SportsBuy.com say they'll pay Steve Bartman $25,000 for an autograph. But their press release also says "Where forth [sic] art thou, Steve Bartman?" so who knows. And for the record, wherefore means why, not where.

Anyway, organizers for the National Sports Collector Convention must know that Bartman will never do it, so this is a no-risk stunt. The show starts next Wednesday at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, and general admission for one day is $15.
