Is he a real fan?
That's the question some have asked
The answer is yes
According to the Tribune:
Tom Ricketts and his family took ownership of the Chicago Cubs and wasted no time making a promise to the team's long-suffering fans: They will bring a World Series title to a team that has gone 101 years without one.
"I'll be honest. I think we have a team that can do it next year," Tom Ricketts said without hesitation Friday at a Wrigley Field news conference. "The fact is, there is enough talent coming back to this team next season."
That quote, dripping with unjustified optimism, proves to me that Tom Ricketts is a Cubs fan. I'm afraid he might be wrong about us having "enough talent", and I hope he plans to get a little more. But he's definitely one of us. Concerning his promise ...
It's surely a vow
That all Cubs fans can abide
Let's hope he keeps it
