The Cubs are often referred as "The North Siders" because Wrigley Field, where they have played their home games since 1916, is located in Chicagos north side Lakeview community. They are also often called "The Boys in Blue" noting the teams primary uniform color, (which itself is often referred to as "Cubbie Blue") or simply as "The Cubbies."
The Cubs are currently owned by a family trust of TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts, with his son Tom Ricketts operating the team on a daily basis. The Ricketts family purchased the team from the Tribune Company in 2009, with the sale closing shortly after the end of the regular season. |
