The Ricketts family re-introduced themselves to Chicago today with a curse-defiant news conference that included vows of making the Cubs a perennial playoff team and World Series champion.
In his first public appearance since his family officially took ownership of the Cubs earlier this week, Tom Ricketts said flatly, "We’re going to win the World Series,’’ and said that single-minded agenda is what sets a family ownership model apart from corporate ownership that must answer to shareholders.
"I’ll be honest, I think we have a team that can do it next year,'' Tom Ricketts said.
