Right now, the statue of Jack Brickhouse that was on display on Michigan Avenue (lets not get into why it was on Michigan Ave and not in it's proper place at Wrigley as opposed to the person whos statue is at Wrigley) has been taken down and is in need of major repairs. Pat Brickhouse, along with the Chicago Baseball Museum are trying to raise funds to repair the statue. Lets back Jack and get this statue of a real Chicago Broadcasting icon back on display. To donate, go to the Chicago Baseball Museums website at the website linked above.

This is not a joke. The Cubs are looking for a CFO. If you ever wanted to help prepare the Budget for the Cubs...here is your chance!

The Cubs were not part of the original bankruptcy proceeding filed by the Tribune, but according to the story, this is a legal maneuver to get the sale done quickly.

I know Al gets most of the kudo's here on the book, "Cubs By The Numbers" (after all...it's his blog), but I was also involved. I thought I would just pass along a nice story from my local paper on me and the book! And remember (obligitory plug coming here) you can easily buy it at Amazon.com. It makes a great Mothers Day or Fathers Day present!

Here is a quick addition to my website of pictures I took at the 2009 NHL Winter Classic Hockey game held at Wrigley Field on Jan. 1st 2009. (yes, I know the background on the individual pics is a baseball and there are no captions to explain the pictures yet, but these pages are still a work in progress )
