Blago Wants Cuban To Own Cubs

Gov. Blagojevich is pulling for Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban to own the Cubs.

The Gov. to RedEye:

Mark Cuban is a great American success story, self-made, had built his business up and has been so successful that he has now gone and has sort of indulged some of the things that he loves to do ... I think he would be the kind of an owner who in many ways would be like a new generation George Steinbrenner and would expect to put a competitive team on the field every year.

The exuberant internet billionaire is one of five bidders for the Cubs.

Yes, Mark Cuban & Cubs, si. MLB, no. Put fun back into baseball. The lords of baseball fear that Mr Cuban will be like Bill Veeck & have the money to succeed at Veeck's stunts.
