I've mentioned that Tom Ricketts, the new owner of the Cubs, reminds me a lot of William Wrigley Jr (photo), who was the owner of the Cubs in the 1920s and early 30s. Both are passionate Cubs fans in addition to being Cubs owners. William Wrigley died on this date in 1932. He and his club President (Bill Veeck Sr. who would die the following year) put the pieces in place for the Cubs to have their second best decade of all-time in the 1930s. That wasn't his only lasting legacy. He was also the king of Catalina Island. Check out this video to see more.
