Ricketts Family:
ESPN the Magazine says the Ricketts family has emerged as the savior of the Chicago Cubs.
“No franchise in America better exemplifies the tension between baseball’s business imperatives and its sentimental attachments than the Cubs, which has made transforming Wrigleyville a gargantuan task for Ricketts and his three siblings. But even that project seems small compared with their ultimate goal: When Tom, Laura, Todd and Pete Ricketts bought the team in 2009, they took on perhaps the most daunting challenge of any team owners — ending the Cubs’ World Series drought, now at 106 years and counting.”
