Have we gotten to the bottom of this question, yet? Six years into its history (somehow that bit of canon came from the first half of its virtual existence), the Orthodox Church Of Cubs Baseball conducted an interview with the Chairman/Executive Chairman/Not Really the CEO/Owner-kind-of of the Cubs, Tom Ricketts. Part I of this wide-ranging interview was devoted exclusively to the questions of who owns the Cubs and how Cubs ownership defined a “mister.”
The second question is too ethereal to pursue effectively, so I won’t address it at all. But I’m pretty sure I have a definitive answer to the first, slightly less mysterious query about who owns the Cubs:
It ain’t us.
