Tom Ricketts is Happy: Care to Caption Today’s Glorious Introduction?

Like a king ready to preside over his new kingdom, Theo Epstein held court today at his introductory press conference with great aplomb. And this shot, courtesy of Cubs.com, is begging to be captioned on this happy, happy day. You think Tom Ricketts shares our excitement?

So, captions. Do share if you’re so inclined.
