Rickett's Family Press Conference

I got to meet the (new) Cubs owners and was a member of the press.

Can I just say.... IT WAS ONE OF THE f**kING COOLEST MOMENTS IN MY LIFE!

Good. For. You. It beats selling cupcakes, don't it? Congrats. Too bad Todd isn't the gay one...he's kinda hot, and really, really rich! Way to go, Mike.

C'est bon la vie!

An interesting part of your article (which I don't think the press has made a big deal about) is: "Laura Ricketts has become the first openly-homosexual to own a major league baseball team."

Nice quote from Laura Ricketts: "I think that the Cubs appreciate diversity and welcome it and are supportive of the LGBT community already before my involvement and I see that continuing certainly. The LGBT community is part of the Chicago community and we want to be part of that."

Chicago Tribune video and article on the Ricketts family ("Laura Ricketts is a lawyer but spends more of her time working with public-interest groups focused on women and gay and lesbian civil rights")

MetsfanChi, I just tweeted your article.

And I re-tweeted it.

Congrats...
GO SOX!
