Ricketts family steps up to plate on bid to buy Chicago Cubs

The Ricketts family's bid to buy the Chicago Cubs from Tribune Co. is gaining momentum, a week after the media company said it was "assessing other alternatives" regarding its planned sale of the ballclub.

Are these the same people who owned Ricketts restaurant in the 1960s? I LOVED the sign outside the restaurant!

Please get the Cubs away from that monster Sam Zell. He is killing as many Chicago traditions as he can. C'mon Ricketts. Buy soon. I wonder if they are interested in buying what is left of the Chicago Tribune.

Do the right thing Trib :
Sell to the Ricketts Family because they, being true Cubs fans, will operate in the best interest of the team rather than simply from a $$$$$ standpoint.
