I don’t want to say anything disparaging about Cubs CEO and Chairman Tom Ricketts this morning because he usually generates bad PR with no need of an assist from me. There are times that backlash seems unwarranted, but there are certainly many instances where he deserves every bit of vitriol lobbed his way.
Chicago’s chief executive has become a bit fuddy-duddyish, for lack of a real word, over the past few years and that’s a shame. When the Ricketts siblings took over the team, they seemed a little hip, definitely fans of the team, and they generated a lot of positive publicity.
