For the sake of the argument, I don't care what the name on the marquee is. What did the Wrigley family ever do for me? What did they do for the Cubs in the last 40 years they owned the team after Bill Veeck left the franchise? Zip. Zero. Bupkis. One World Series in the first five years of that period, in a season when half the league was off fighting the Axis. Big f'n' deal. Even the St. Louis Browns got into a Series during the war. And they lost too.
Cubbie Nation should have no more loyalty and no more respect for the Wrigley name than Blackhawks fans have for Bill Wirtz, just like White Sox fans owe nothing to Charlie Comiskey. Names associated with failure, cheapskatery and decades of bad decisions.
