Back in January there was a bit of an uproar when the Cubs moved the statues of team heroes Billy Williams and Ron Santo to make room for the construction of the Draft Kings sportsbook. The uproar wasn’t about moving the statues during construction, after all, no one wants to see those remarkable commemorations of great Cubs careers inadvertently damaged by construction. Plus, the statues have been moved previously, when the Wrigley Field renovation was underway. No, the uproar was the idea of moving statues of Cubs greats to make room for a sportsbook, which many fans, including myself, don’t really want at Wrigley Field.
