Gregory Pratt Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 He also, per that article, saved Wrigley Field from DOOM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) WOW, that article has two bombshells. It's a damn shame he saved Wrigley though, the Cubs would be drawing 25 thousand a game in a mediocre 1980's built ballpark in Mount Prospect or something if it wasn't for that.

bschmaranz Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I know you didn't just diss Mount Prospect. HOLD ME BACK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chombi Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Yea Mt. Prospect isn't far from me. I would've perhaps grown up a Cub fan if it was there....That thought makes me very sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mplssoxfan Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I'm not doubting Uberroth's honesty or memory, but what a logistical nightmare that would have been. The Cubs - Padres Game Five ended in San Diego at about 6pm central time. If the Cubs had won, they would have hosted Game One of the World Series at about 7:15 on Tuesday. 49 hours to get every fan with a ticket for the game a new one plus sell about 15-20 thousand more? Let's say I'm highly skeptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
