I don't think so. I think that it would be a nice gesture, but you know that a large portion of the Cub Nation would blame him if the Cubs were to lose the game with many of them thinking that he is some sort of jinx. Maybe they could offer him some free seats in one of the VIP suites where he could watch the game in relative privacy.

All that is proves is that his family has money. That is how he had the front row seat to begin with. But I do not blame him any more than I blame Leon Durham or the goat. It is just the Cubs way of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
But he is a sort of local legend, if he appreciates it or not.

If the Cubs win the WS I think they should invite Bartman to the victory parade and officially honor him for the crap he's had to put up with. I think most people would forget and "forgive" Bartman if the Cubs did win the WS. I would hope people could get over it now but some people are small-minded and petty I guess.
