CHICAGO — Chicago Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts arrived at the ballpark in good time.
It was a beautiful Saturday morning at Wrigley Field, the gates were about to open on Nico Hoerner Bobblehead Day, and Ricketts had inducted former coach Buck O’Neil, broadcaster Pat Hughes and legendary outfielder José Cardenal into the Cubs Hall of Fame.
Ricketts was in a fine mood as he approached a half-dozen reporters loitering in the concourse.
