A few months later, Ricketts does realize the impact of being the only openly gay owner of a major league men's sports franchise in the U.S., and also a rare woman owner and board member. She wants to make sure to serve both the Cubs and her community well. full story: http://www.windycitymediagroup.com/gay/lesbian/news/ARTICLE.php?AID=25629 |
