GLENDALE, Ariz. — Rick Hahn spends just about every waking moment trying to rebuild the White Sox. As the team’s general manager, his mission in life is to bring another World Series title to the South Side.
Growing up in Winnetka, Hahn had a much different desire.
He wanted to see the Cubs win a championship, and as an 11-year-old kid, he went to great lengths attempting to make it happen.
In 1982, as the Cubs were in the midst of an 89-loss season, young Hahn wrote to Cubs executive vice president and general manager Dallas Green with ideas of how to improve the ballclub.
