Mark Cuban will NOT own the Cubs
From NBC Chicago
The billionaire Ricketts family has been selected by Tribune Co. as the winning bidder for the hard-luck Chicago Cubs.
The bid is worth about $900 million, according to the Web site of the Chicago Tribune, which also is owned by Tribune Co. The sale would include Wrigley Field and a 25 percent interest in a regional sports network...
Really - $900,000,000 for a 100 year losing franchise and a crappy stadium that is crumbling down and can only hold 41k fans.
Not a bad return for the Tribune who bought it for 20.5M in 1981 and still didn't win jack.
