Want to Meet the Ricketts Family?

If you’re one of the few people who didn’t participate in the Chicago Cubs scalping pre-sale opportunity on Monday, single game tickets go on sale today. And while you’re waiting in line, you might just get a surprise.

Tom, Todd, Laura and Pete Ricketts will be on hand Friday morning for the opening of ticket sales at Wrigley Field, greeting fans in line with coffee and Dunkin Donuts.

The new Cubs owners will be available to address fans’ questions about everything from the new bathrooms to Lou Piniella’s future.

Tickets go on sale at the box office at 8 a.m., with a random wristband system being used again. Chicago Breaking Sports.

Ask whether Jim Hendry was given the funds to go after a starting pitcher, or a full-time regular at second base. Do it. Do it.
