Help Keep the Chicago Cubs Training in Sunny Arizona

Hello, and welcome to Mesa for Spring Training 2010! Spring Training is one of those favorite times of year, when one can head to the ballpark and meet up with old friends, or make new ones, while soaking up plenty of sunshine and Cubs tradition. The Cubs were the third team to join the Cactus League way back in the 1950s. People moved their businesses here because of the Cubs. They moved their families here because of the Cubs. But now, Mesa needs help to make sure the Cubs aren’t the ones on the move. The City of Mesa and the State of Arizona have a plan that will keep the Cubs right here in Mesa for the next 25 years, in a brand new stadium complex. This plan gives the Cubs the new stadium and practice facilities they need to stay competitive in the off-

season. The new destination will be developed with the Cubs’ needs in mind and would house year-round operations for the team, from rehabbing injured players to providing a place for young talent to develop. The new facility would also be a place for Cubs fans to enjoy. ‘Wrigleyville West’ would feature bars and restaurants, retail and places to stay – making it a true baseball destination! Mesa values our long and rewarding relationship with the Cubs and you, the fans. So join our lineup. It’s important, and it’s easy. Please visit www.CubsWinInAZ.com to sign up for email updates, follow the effort on Twitter @ CubsWinInAZ and become a friend on Facebook (search “Cubs Win in AZ”).

Thanks for your continued support, and go Cubs!

S t r e e t e r Tradition. In Mesa, we are a city steeped in the stuff so it only makes sense that a sport laden with ritual, custom and convention call Mesa home each spring. For half a century, Cubs fans anxious to see their boys of summer get in shape for the season have flocked here to be part of the magic, the dream that is baseball. Legends have played on these fields. Games have been won, hope has been lost – but all the while, the Cactus League’s perennial attendance breakers have continued to make Mesa an annual springtime playground helping put this Southwestern stop on the map as one of the top destinations in the country’s sunbelt. Lauded for its affordability and accessibility, Mesa is one of the nation’s fastestgrowing cities (currently ranked 38th most populous city in the U.S.) and is larger than the cities of Kansas City, Miami, St. Louis and Pittsburgh. Boasting a variety of accommodations to Downtown Mesa suit every traveler and numerous golf courses to match any skill, sunseekers revel in the more than 300 sun-filled days a year and average temperature of 72.6 degrees. If your home base finds you in Mesa this March, make sure to take in the newest offerings, latest attractions and exhibitions, and see just how much fun can be had in the desert. GO CUBS! •

Only in Mesa Play Ball! The Cactus League Experience

Ty Cobb once soothed his old spring training aches and pains at the Buckhorn Baths mineral spas in Mesa. Willie Mays was the first to hit a homer at Phoenix Municipal Stadium. And Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio played one season of spring training baseball together in Arizona. These are just some of the moments that make up the rich history of Cactus League baseball and a few of the tales being told in Play Ball: The Cactus League Experience at the Arizona Museum for Youth (35 N. Robson, Downtown Mesa). Baseball fans and history buffs alike will have the opportunity to set their sights on never-before-seen items gathered from private collections of Arizonans who knew the likes of Ted Williams, Gaylord Perry and Willie McCovey. Interactive elements including Wii stations, push-button film montages honoring the past and present, baseball art, and activities are all part of the experience. www.PlayBallExperience.com

� s m a k o Hoh Welcome On behalf of the Mesa HoHoKams, Welcome to HoHoKam Park and Dwight Patterson Field, winter home of the Chicago Cubs! The Cubs started Spring Training in Mesa 58 years ago and have become a permanent part of this community’s history. For those of you unaware of our history, the Mesa HoHoKams organization was formed in 1951 as a “special events committee” of Mesa business leaders whose primary goal was to attract a major league baseball team to Mesa each spring. Later that year, the late Dwight Patterson struck a deal with Chicago Cubs owner Phillip Wrigley and the team came to town for spring training in 1952. Today, the HoHoKams are comprised of nearly 200 community leaders who volunteer their time to ensure your Spring Training experience is enjoyable. Since the first game at Rendezvous Park to today, we have fond memories of working side-by-side with our colleagues to help make Spring Training in Mesa a memorymaking event for all baseball fans. Speaking of fans - what an incredible time to root for the Cubs! New owners, the Ricketts family, are committed to delivering a team both competitive on the field and innovative in all facets of the organization. And, Cubs have a bright future in Mesa with the recently announced efforts to keep the team training in Mesa. As predicted, last year’s Cactus League spring training season hit an all-time high with overall attendance reaching 1.57 million baseball fans. The 2009 season saw your Chicago Cubs come out on top again as the most watched team in the league with a total of 203,105

fans at their 19 games, breaking their old record and setting a new one for single-season attendance. For decades, HoHoKam charities have benefited from Spring Training and we are glad you are here once again to cheer on the Cubs and continue to play a big part of Cubs’ history in Mesa.

the HoHoKam Way

More than 50 years ago, a handful of public-spirited citizens created an organization to bring Major League baseball to Mesa in the spring of each year to train and prepare for the upcoming season. They called themselves the HoHoKams. Those founders came from many professions including banking, the legal profession, ranching, journalism, and retail business. They all gave their professional talents to create Spring Training in Mesa, and to support youth sports in the Mesa area, just like they do today. It was the beloved Chicago Cubs that made Mesa a true Spring Training town with their arrival in 1952. Through the years, Cubs’ fans continue to be a phenomenon. For nearly three decades they have led the Cactus League in attendance and continue to break their home attendance record year over year. Because of this outstanding support, dozens of Mesa and East Valley youth charities have received many thousands of dollars annually. In 2009 alone, the HoHoKams provided more than $150,000 in grants to more than 30 youth sports organizations including the United Way, East Valley YMCA and Boys & Girls Club of the East Valley. They also support numerous junior-high and

high-school athletic programs throughout Mesa through muchneeded funds and volunteer service. Monies raised through the HoHoKams and Spring Training are also dedicated for annual stadium improvements. Generations of HoHoKams have donned the iconic red shirt and displayed the treasured bolo tie with honor and pride. Today, the HoHoKams are comprised of nearly 200 community leaders who volunteer their time just like their founders to ensure your Spring Training experience in Mesa is enjoyable. By any measure the HoHoKams are an exceptionally successful volunteer organization. Each member knows what job needs to be done, when it needs to be done and how to do it. Each member is there from love of the organization, love of Mesa, love of baseball, and love of the Cubs. www.MesaHohokams.com

They are the four Ricketts siblings, who in October took control of the Chicago Cubs and comprise the new, public face of the franchise after 28 years under the Tribune Co. umbrella. The four Ricketts—Tom, Pete, Laura and Todd—all possess separate personas and track records that transcend simpliﬁed labels, friends and business associates of the family say. Their knack for success in business bodes well for Cubs fans anxious to end the team’s World Series drought, the associates believe. The Ricketts “will be great for the franchise, for its fans and for the city of Chicago,” said Larry Richman, CEO of Chicago-based PrivateBancorp Inc. Tom is “a very committed, focused businessman,” said Richman, previously CEO of LaSalle Bank N.A. and who knows Tom through the local banking industry. “He is patient yet has high expectations. He also has a good understanding of the balance

B l y t h e in ﬁnding a win-win-win—for the team, his family and for the city.” The Ricketts’ patriarch, Joe, built a fortune after founding the retail brokerage now known as TD Ameritrade Inc., in Omaha. Joe’s net worth is an estimated $1.2 billion, according to Forbes magazine. Family dollars aside, each of the Ricketts progeny made their own way, associates say, and they defy the stereotypes of wealthy, privileged siblings and parents bickering over their estate. “This is not a dysfunctional billionaire family where people will complain and have all kinds of problems,” said Jim Bianco, a friend and business associate of Tom’s. One thing the Ricketts, who grew up in Omaha watching the Cubs on WGN-TV, aren’t good at is sitting still. Combined, they run at least ﬁve different businesses and serve on more than a dozen advisory boards and foundations.

There’s the investment banker, the lawyer, the politico and the biker.

Meet the Ricketts The Investment Banker

Tom’s well-documented Cubs passion stretches back at least a couple decades, to his days as a student at the University of Chicago in the 1980s. Following college, he briefly lived in an apartment above the recently remodeled Sports Corner bar on Sheffield Avenue, across from Wrigley Field. He met his wife, Cecelia, a doctor of dermatology, in the Wrigley Field bleachers. Between Cubs games, Tom was building a successful career in finance. In 1999, he left the former ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to found Incapital LLC. Chicago-based Incapital is credited with pioneering the field of underwriting and selling corporate bonds directly to retail investors. Before then, corporate bonds primarily had been the domain of pension funds and other large institutional investors. Tom’s financial savvy will come in handy when it comes to identifying ways to squeeze additional revenue from the Cubs and Wrigley Field, said Bianco, an Incapital investor and president of Chicago-based Bianco Research LLC.Additionally, the hands-off management style Tom employs with Incapital will apply nicely when running a Major League Baseball team, Bianco said. “What a good businessman recognizes is that if you’re going to hire talented people, you have to let them do their job,” Bianco said. “You can’t hire a topflight general manager and then second-guess them.” Managers at Incapital are “definitely given the ability to do what they need to do to make the organization successful,” Bianco said. Sports franchises, like anything else, “need to be run as successful businesses, and they need to have strong managers in charge,” Bianco added. “And that means that the head guy...allows the people under him to run their organizations.” Tom’s bond-market acumen might even come into play as he looks for creative and innovative ways to increase team revenue, Bianco said.

The Politico

Pete, the oldest of the Ricketts siblings, has a taste for Republican politics.In 2006, he was Nebraska’s Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate, a race he lost to the Democratic incumbent, Ben Nelson. Days before that election, President Bush made an appearance at a campaign rally for Pete in Grand Island, Neb.Pete’s also covered a lot of ground in business and philanthropy. Formerly Chief Operating Officer for Ameritrade, he now runs Drakon LLC, an Omaha-based asset management firm that invests in start-up companies. He’s also a board member or advisor for at least 14 foundations or businesses, including Alumni Capital Network, a New York-based private equity firm. Jim Honohan, Alumni Capital’s CEO, gives Pete high marks. “Pete gets four stars,” Honohan said. “He’s been a total professional and a pleasure to work with.” Pete, like brother Tom, is a University of Chicago alum, and said he views the Cubs as a multi-generational kind of venture, in an October interview with the Chicago Tribune. The Cubs are “something...we could all focus the family on,” Pete said. “Not just the four of us, but our kids and on down the generations. It gives us what we as Ricketts can do together.”

The Lawyer

While she holds a law degree from the University of Michigan, Laura hardly has devoted her life to sitting behind a desk or working a courtroom. An experienced world traveler, she’s climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and the Grand Tetons in Wyoming, and visited ancient ruins in Peru. Earlier this decade, she helped found a highly regarded website, which provided environmentally friendly travel advice. Laura also is on the board of directors of Lambda Legal, a national gay and lesbian rights organization. Jim Bennett, Midwest Regional Director for Lambda Legal, said Laura

Meet the Ricketts has an innate entrepreneurial streak and ability to connect with people that’s helped his organization expand membership and promote its efforts. “Laura has a natural marketing sense...that’s been really invaluable to us,” Bennett said. “She wants everyone’s input, and she quickly builds consensus. She has a Tom Sawyer-like quality where you want to play with her. She makes the project fun.” Earlier this year, Bennett said he was trying to ﬁgure out a way to express thanks to an advertising agency that did pro bono work for Lambda Legal. Laura came up with the perfect idea. “Laura said, ‘Let’s take them to a ball game at Wrigley Field,’” Bennett said. “Nothing could have been better...we had [great] seats, and [the agency] had a blast. I doubt if they talked about business at all.” Bennett, who attended a few Cubs games with Laura last summer, said he’s seen ﬁrst-hand her keen awareness of the fan experience, well before her family bought the team. Laura “wants to talk to everyone” at the games, Bennett said. “She listens to everyone. When you go to a game with her...she’s talking to fans, she’s talking to people in the lines, she’s talking to the ushers. She’s talking to the people sitting by her. She wants to know what their experiences are like, if they’re having a good time.”

and Wilmette, Ill., and also has real estate investments. He’s worked with sister Laura on several philanthropic endeavors and her travel website. “Todd likes to ride,” said Larry Faulkner, manager of the Higher Gear store in Highland Park. “He’s into bikes. He’s kind of a ‘gear guy,’” Faulkner added. “He likes anything mechanical, whether it’s motorcycles or cars or bikes.” Todd was struck with Cubs fever after attending Loyola. “It just sucks you in,” Todd said. “Sitting in the bleachers is like a big picnic with all of your friends.” He recalled to the Tribune when his father would take the kids to Omaha Royals (AAA) games. “He’d sit in the highest row by himself and smoke a cigar while the four of us just ran roughshod over the stadium,” Todd said. “Those were fun times.”

The Goal

While the Ricketts have wide-ranging résumés, they’re firmly unified in their mission as Cubs owners. That was evident at an Oct. 30 press conference at Wrigley Field, a few days after the sale closed, where Tom stated his top priority loud and clear. “We’re going to win the World Series,” Tom told the media, gathered on a rainy Friday at the Captain Morgan Club adjoining Wrigley Field. “We’re going to win the World Series by striving every day and in every way to be the best franchise in baseball.” Writing the next chapter of the Chicago Cubs franchise will be a family affair, considering how close the siblings are. They might have differing views on things, but they remain very close regardless, A day in the Wrigley bleachers isn’t the only kind of open-air something that bodes well for the future of the Cubs. “I think about something my mom said when we were little,” Todd said. “She said, ‘You experience favored by Todd, the youngest of the four Ricketts. Todd, a graduate of Chicago’s Loyola University, is an avid bicyclist, can fight all you want when you’re in the house, but when you leave, associates say. He co-owns the Higher Gear bike stores in Highland Park remember you’re still family.”

Nady is expected to be fully recovered from last summer’s Tommy John Surgery by opening day. However, it was the second time the 31 year old outfielder underwent the operation and he has to be considered an injury risk heading into the 2010 season. Now with the Cubs, Nady likely will take over in right field for Kosuke Fukudome when the opposition starts a left-hander. He’s still capable of providing some power from the middle of the line, but the likelihood of limited at-bats relegates him to deeper NL consideration.

phantom-season spring training appearance by the Detroit Tigers in 1929 and a half dozen or so barnstorming whistle stops by the Chicago Cubs and White Sox, Pittsburgh Pirates and N.Y. Giants from the teens through the early 40s. Bill Veeck and Horace Stoneham both had connections to Arizona before deciding to move their respective teams here for the spring. Thirty-three-year-old Veeck had just become the owner of the Cleveland Indians and owned a small cattle ranch in the foothills of the Rincon Mountains near Tucson. Among Veeck’s reasons for wanting to move the Indians from the team’s previous spring training headquarters in Florida was the fact that he had recently signed Larry Doby who would become the American League’s first and Major League Baseball’s second African American player. Veeck believed that Arizona’s racial climate might be more hospitable. While Veeck had already decided on moving the Indians he needed another team in Arizona to play exhibition games against. New York Giants owner Horace Stoneham also had a winter home in Phoenix and was a logical choice for Veeck to pursue. The Indians and Giants had a longstanding tradition of barnstorming together on their way back from Florida at the end of each spring training season. Veeck suggested that the teams could do the same making their way east from Arizona.

Seattle Mariners and Padres partner and open Peoria Sports Complex

What began as two renegade clubs bucking tradition by moving their spring training operations to distant desert outposts three generations ago has blossomed into a full blown baseball-vacation destination fueling Arizona’s tourism driven economy. During the time since 1947 when owners Bill Veeck and Horace Stoneham first brought the Cleveland Indians and New York Giants to Tucson and Phoenix for spring training the Major League Baseball landscape has been dramatically altered. If the Macmillan Baseball Encyclopedia is considered the “Bible of major league baseball,” then the period before 1947 reflected in this book can be called the“Old Testament.” The sweeping changes brought about by Jackie Robinson’s entry into the major leagues harkened the arrival of baseball’s new age. This new age would be characterized at first by the availability of opportunity to an increasing number of ballplayers, and later by an increasing number of places to play and better means of getting there. Expansion and rapid transportation brought the game to new frontiers, literally and figuratively. Prior to the arrival of Veeck’s Indians and Stoneham’s Giants, Arizona was almost uncharted terrain with the exception of a

The Cactus League Continues to Evolve Stoneham had also been quietly considering moving the Giants to Arizona after being introduced to a place called the Buckhorn Mineral Baths in Mesa. Owned and operated by Ted and Alice Sigler, the couple initially bought the property to place a gas station and trading post but made a serendipitous discovery of a hot water aquifer containing significant deposits of silica, magnesium and iron while drilling for a well and built what can be considered Arizona’s first spa on the site. Horace Stoneham was brought to the property by Lewis Haas, general manager of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, while looking at possible locations for the Giants to set up spring camp. Experiencing the rejuvenating qualities of the Buckhorn Mineral Baths and imagining the beneficial effects the baths would have on his team closed the deal for Stoneham. (Some of the original items from the Buckhorn Baths are on display in the Play Ball! The Cactus League Experience, an interactive exhibit that chronicles the history of the league, recently relocated to the Arizona Museum for Youth in downtown Mesa). The Indians set up camp at Hi Corbett Field in Tucson and the Giants moved into the original Phoenix Municipal Stadium at Central and Mohave near where the Arizona Diamondbacks Chase Field sits today. Bob Lemon got the win as the Indians defeated the Giants 3-1 in the Cactus League’s inaugural opener at Hi Corbett Field on March 8, 1947. The pair remained the only two clubs to hold spring training in Arizona until 1951 when another New York team arrived on the scene. In the spring of 1951, the New York Yankees swapped spring training sites for one season with their cross-town rivals. The Giants went to

St. Petersburg and the Yankees camped in Phoenix. This gave Yankees co-owner, Del Webb, a chance to see his ballclub play on a day-to-day basis while he also supervised his rapidly growing real estate empire. In the Yankees’ single Arizona-based spring, Cactus League fans were treated to the historic pairing of the baseball legends training together for the first and last time. Joe DiMaggio spent his final training season with the club while Mickey Mantle arrived for his first. It was during this year that the beloved “Yankee Clipper” would symbolically pass the torch as Gotham’s favorite son to the rookie country boy from Oklahoma. “The Mick” went on to hit the first of his many round trippers in a Yankee uniform that spring and not so ironically, the Yankees and Giants would meet in another “subway series” that fall. Meanwhile, the Chicago Cubs had been training on California’s Catalina Island but found it difficult to get opponents to play against every spring. In 1951 they came to Phoenix to play two spring training

The Cactus League Continues to Evolve games against the New York Yankees. With the help of Del Webb, Dwight Patterson, an ambitious Mesa rancher and businessman, was able to set up a meeting with Cubs management at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel. Patterson wanted a team in his hometown to promote the city and to raise funds to buy equipment for local little league baseball teams. The meeting resulted in an agreement for the Cubs to train in Mesa the next spring and play at Rendezvous Park Stadium. Rendezvous had a capacity of 3,000 and was located near the intersection of Center and University, about one mile south of the current ballpark. Robert Brinton, the Big Ho of the Mesa Hohokams and president of the Cactus League, was just a kid when the Cubs played at Rendezvous and attended games regularly with his father who was one of the original Hohokams. “I used to get splinters from the wooden bleachers. We’d watch Ernie Banks pull into the parking lot in his lavender Cadillac. He’d drive up to the gate and honk his horn so he could park inside of the gate. My hero was Ken Hubbs. He gave me a cracked bat which I lost, but I still have his autograph on a baseball. He would sit with me and talk about having the desire to do things. He was so genuine and good and the next year he died in a plane crash [Hubbs was all of 22 when he died. His brief big league stint was highlighted by a string of 78 consecutive errorless games at second base during his rookie season in 1962]. Here was someone who had taken an interest in a young kid. I remember being devastated the same way some people were when Buddy Holly’s plane went down,” said Brinton.

With the addition of the Baltimore Orioles to a reconfigured horse track called Municipal Park in Yuma in 1954, Arizona’s spring circuit counted four teams and was officially dubbed the “Cactus League.” That same year, the Indians and Giants would meet in the first-ever “Cactus League World Series,” a memorable fall classic that would showcase Willie Mays’ famous catch, Dusty Rhodes’ pinch hit home runs and a surprising four-game sweep by the Giants over the heavily-favored Indians. In 1956, the Orioles moved from Yuma and christened the brand new Scottsdale Stadium. Rookie third baseman Brooks Robinson would earn a starting spot with the team two years later and anchor the third base position for the next 20 years. The Boston Red Sox replaced the Orioles in Scottsdale in 1959. Ted Williams, “the splendid splinter”, would play two more seasons for the

The Cactus League Continues to Evolve Sox before being replaced in left field by another future Hall of Famer, Carl Yastrzemski, in 1961. A Cactus League mainstay, Scottsdale Stadium would become the most utilized of all the Cactus League ballparks, hosting the Orioles, Red Sox, Cubs, A’s and Giants during its 43-year history. Major League expansion brought the Houston Colt .45s to Geronimo Park in Apache Junction in 1962, with rookies Jimmy Wynn and Rusty Staub. After the 1965 spring season, the Cubs abruptly left Mesa for a one-spring stint in Long Beach, California and then returned to Arizona moving into Scottsdale Stadium from 1967-78. The San Francisco Giants moved into a new Phoenix Municipal Stadium at Van Buren and Galvin Parkway in 1966. Rendezvous Park sat empty with no team to host until Dwight Patterson lured Charlie O. Finley and the Oakland A’s to Mesa in 1969. That was also the year that the San Diego Padres came to Yuma while the Seattle Pilots landed in Tempe for their one and only year as a franchise. In 1970, the Pilots moved to Milwaukee, became the Brewers, and continued to train in Arizona opening a new ballpark in Sun City in 1973. From 1972-1974, the mustachioed Swingin’ A’s with Reggie Jackson, Rollie Fingers, Catfish Hunter and company won three straight World Series, becoming the first Cactus League team to win the championship since the 1954 Giants. No team has won three Series in a row since. By the mid-70s, a dilapidated Rendezvous Park had run its course. In order to keep spring training in Mesa, the city razed the old stadium in 1976 and new HoHoKam Park was opened in 1977. The A’s remained in Mesa for one more season before being replaced by the Cubs who have remained at Hohokam Parks old and new ever since.

Mesa’s Original Rendezvous Park

For the following decade the Cactus League held onto its eight teams: the Angels trained at Gene Autry Park in Mesa, playing home games the last two weeks of Spring Training in Palm Springs; the Cubs were the league’s most popular draw in Mesa; the Indians held down original Hi Corbett Field in Tucson; the Brewers played on the fringe of the Valley in orange grove country at Compadre Stadium in Chandler; the A’s played at Scottsdale Stadium until swapping sites with the Giants at the current Phoenix Municipal Stadium on Galvin Parkway in 1984; the Padres played halfway between Phoenix and their San Diego home at Desert Sun Stadium in Yuma from 1969-1993; and the Mariners called Tempe Diablo Stadium home from 1977-1992. The Cactus League experienced a low point in 1993 when the Cleveland Indians, one of the pioneering teams of the Cactus League, left its ancestral Hi Corbett home in Tucson for Florida. Fortunately the void left by the Indians was immediately filled by the expansion Colorado Rockies in Tucson. The Mariners unable to come to terms with the city of Tempe on renovations to Diablo Stadium were a nomadic road team. A special Cactus League task force was convened spearheaded by Arizona Governor Rose Mofford. A former standout softball player herself, Arizona’s first lady created the Arizona Baseball Commission to determine how to keep baseball in Arizona. She was also instrumental in passing rental car tax legislation that would provide the impetus for the Cactus League’s growth. The Cactus League’s progress was also fueled by a three-way partnership between the Seattle Mariners, San Diego Padres and city of Peoria placing the Mariners and Padres at Peoria Stadium in 1994, the first of the two-team facilities that would become the trend in years to follow. The expansion Arizona Diamondbacks moved into a brand new Tucson Electric Park with the Chicago White Sox in 1998, which also saw the Milwaukee Brewers move into their new Maryvale Baseball Park. Old

Maryvale Baseball Park

The Cactus League Continues to Evolve Hohokam Stadium was razed at the conclusion of the 1996 season and the Cubs moved into the current version in 1997. In 2003, the Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers entered a cooperative effort to share a facility in the city of Surprise. Almost as dramatic as the Dodgers’ move from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958, was the team’s departure from its long-time Vero Beach, Florida spring training home in 2009. The “Dodgertown” exodus came as a shock to Florida fans and the baseball community at large. It must have taken something big for the Dodgers to leave their 61-year spring training home. The Camelback Ranch facility in Glendale is more than something big. Located just west of the 101 Loop on the corner of Camelback Road and 111th Avenue, the Glendale Ballpark designed by HKS architects of Dallas, TX, is the Cactus League’s largest ballpark with 10,000 permanent seats and a seating capacity of 3,000 on the outfield berm. The Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority provided two-thirds of the funding for the $90 million facility while the city of Glendale picked up the remainder of the tab. I already love the Goodyear Ballpark. My favorite thing about it is the crazy piece of modern sculpture at the main entrance. Named for a giant water bird in Hebrew mythology and created by American artist Donald Lipski, The Ziz, looks like some kind of elongated baseball crossed with a ship’s sail and a seagull. When I saw the 60-foot, 6-inch statue (the distance between the major league pitcher’s mound and home plate) I thought to myself, how did we get here? It really looked

The Ziz at Goodyear Ballpark

like something out of this world. I wondered if people felt the same way back in 1966 when the then brand-new Phoenix Municipal Stadium made its Cactus League debut looking like a flying saucer. To me, The Ziz represents the latest era in the evolution of the Cactus League. This will be the last year for the Diamondbacks and Rockies in Tucson as both clubs will be moving into a shared new facility on the Salt River Indian Reservation adjacent to Scottsdale next year, which may very well mean the end of an era in Tucson. There’s always the possibility of more Grapefruit League defections from Florida or perhaps Japanese Major League teams coming to Tucson for the spring but it’s all part of the evolutionary process and the general condition of the Cactus League has never been stronger. Chicago Cubs fans can look forward to the prospect of yet another new ballpark proposed in Mesa and scheduled to open in 2012.

Andre Dawson

“The Hawk” joins Gary Carter as the only Hall of Fame members belonging to an almost forgotten Montreal Expos team gradually fading from view and the collective consciousness of baseball fans since the franchise’s move to Washington D.C. in 2005. Beginning in 2001, the Hall of Fame has assumed the responsibility of choosing which cap will adorn the plaque of inductees who played for more than one team and Dawson would have preferred to be immortalized as a Cub. Andre Dawson

V as c ellaro “I wanted to tell them what really catapulted me to Hall of Fame status and pretty much what my preference was, but I think their decision had been made. It was a little gut-wrenching for me to hear that, but it’s their decision,” Dawson told ESPN. “I’m disappointed. I can proudly say that because Chicago was my preference,” he added. Hall president Jeff Idelson said “you want the logo to represent where this guy made his greatest impact. He was impactful in Montreal. He was impactful in Chicago, and to a much lesser extent Boston and Florida, but it’s more a case of sitting down and collectively come to a decision.” Dawson spent a very productive first 11 years of his career in Montreal beginning with a Rookie of the Year season in 1977 and is certainly considered among the top two or three players in franchise history. But he is best remembered as one of Cubs fans all time favorites, sharing space in their hearts with the likes of Ernie Banks, Billy Williams and Ron Santo as well his contemporary Chicago sports icons Michael Jordan and Walter Payton. And when during his Induction Day speech he mentions the significance of his years in Chicago and how important Cubs fans remain to him, those gathered in attendance will unleash the loudest roar of the ceremony. “I don’t want to do anything that might be an embarrassment to someone or show someone up, that’s not my character. But there will be some way I will try to acknowledge the Cubs fans to show just how important they were to me. I did think about at some point in time during the speech putting a Cubs cap on, but I don’t know if that’s appropriate,” Dawson said, adding, “But knowing that I’m on the Hall of Fame team is what’s most important, as it is the highest honor I could imagine.” It’s been a long time coming for Dawson who finally gained election to the Hall in his ninth year of eligibility, receiving 420 of 539 (77.9%) votes cast and was the only player elected on this year’s ballot. GO CUBS! •

Cubs Fans Claim Dawson as One of Their Own Dawson played the game with equal parts affable zeal and menacing intensity, endearing him to teammates and fans while striking fear in the hearts of opponents. Never was this more evident than during his magical first season with the Cubs. After being paid more than $1 million by the Montreal Expos in each of the previous two years, he was unable to secure a deal as a free-agent, a victim of what was later ruled “collusion.” Dawson offered to sign a blank contract with the Cubs in the spring of 1987, which wound up being filled in for $500,000 with $250,000 in incentive clauses, for making the All-Star team, starting in the All-Star game or being named the league’s MVP (all of which he accomplished), leading the league with 49 home runs and 137 RBI and becoming the first and only player to win the MVP award while playing for a last place team. While his career totals are not of the eye-popping variety, falling just short of the 3,000-hit, 500-home run milestones most readily associated with automatic induction to the Hall of Fame, they still rank favorably with other outfielders already enshrined in Cooperstown. Dawson’s 2,774 hits place him 45th all-time with Harold Baines (2,866) being the only eligible player with more hits not in the Hall of Fame. His 438 home runs (35th All-Time) are more than Hall of Famers, Billy Williams (426), Duke Snider (407) and Al Kaline (399) while his 1,591 RBI (32nd All-Time) are in front of such luminaries as Harmon Killebrew (1,584), Willie McCovey (1,555) and Willie Stargell (1,540), all in the Hall.

teams including the team’s most recent inductee relief pitcher Bruce Sutter (2006) whose plaque bears a St. Louis Cardinals cap. The National League’s Cy Young award winner with the Cubs in 1979, Sutter led the league with 37 saves, posting a 6-6 record with 110 strikeouts in 101 innings with a 2.22 ERA. Sutter also led the league with

Cubs Fans Claim Dawson as One of Their Own 28 saves for the Cubs in 1980 and three more times with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1981-1982 and 1984. He was a four-time recipient of the NL Rolaids Relief award and was named to four National League All-Star squads. Sutter spent the first five years of his career with the Cubs (1976-1980) splitting spring training time at Scottsdale Stadium and Hohokam Park. With the highest fielding percentage (.989) of any second baseman since 1900, Ryne Sandberg is the only second sacker to start nine AllStar games and also won nine straight Gold Glove awards beginning in 1983. He played with a consistency that is perhaps best exemplified by his major league record streak of 123 consecutive errorless games during which he handled 584 chances spanning parts of the 1989 and 1990 seasons. Sandberg played 15 of his 16 big league seasons with the Cubs (1982-1997) and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2005. The last pitcher to string together six consecutive seasons with 20 or more wins, Ferguson Jenkins achieved the feat while pitching for the Cubs from 1967-1972. The Cubs all-time leader with 2,038 strikeouts and 347 starts, his 29 shutouts with the team rank fourth. Jenkins pitched 10 of his 19 seasons with the Cubs (1966-1973, 1982-1983). “Fergie” was among the National League’s most dominant pitchers in an era of pitching dominance. Jenkins led the league in complete games four times and wins twice, finishing an incredible 30 of 39 starts in his Cy Young award winning season of 1971. His 284 career wins rank 29th all time and his 3,192 strikeouts (12th) He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1991.

Billy Williams

An “Iron-Man,” in his era, outfielder Billy Williams set a National League record playing in 1,117 consecutive games during a 10-year span from 1962-1971, which remained until Steve Garvey surpassed it in 1983. A model of consistency, Williams hit above .300 five times in his 18-year career, leading the NL with a .333 mark in 1972. He amassed a career total of 426 home runs, knocking 20 or more in a season 14 times, exceeding 30 five times with a single season high of 42 in 1970. Williams spent the first 16 (1959-1974) of his 18 year career with the Cubs and was elected to the Hall in 1987.

Cubs Fans Claim Dawson as One of Their Own Decades before it had become common for shortstops to be hired for anything more than their defensive skills, “Mr. Cub” Ernie “Let’s play two” Banks was regarded as the best hitter at his position. Banks led the NL in home runs, in 1958 (47) and 1960 (41) during a streak of four consecutive seasons with 40 or more home runs, well before the era of artificial muscular enhancement. He converted to first base in 1962 and racked up a career total of 512 home runs. His is the quintessential Cubs experience, despite being named back-to-back MVP awards in 1958 and 1959, Banks who played all 19 years of his career with the Cubs never made it to a World Series. While Cubs fans have enjoyed the team’s recent run of Hall of Fame inductees, many feel that another Cubs legend deserves to be included. For some reason former third baseman Ron Santo’s legacy has not been recognized by the voting members of the Baseball Writers Association of America of recent Hall of Fame Veteran’s Committees. Santo is a five-time Gold Glove award winner who could also hit, knocking 30 or more homers and hitting above .300 four times, with a total a 342 home runs, 1,331 RBI and a .277 career batting average. During his inaugural year of eligibility on the baseball writer’s ballot in 1980 Santo’s dismal 3.9% showing had him removed from the eligible list in compliance with the Hall of Fame’s rules for election. He was reinstated by a review committee in 1985 but never fared better than the 41 percent he received in his final year of eligibility on the writer’s ballot in 1998. Since then Santo’s name had been bandied about by the Hall of Fame’s former veteran’s committee, whose ballots were cast in

secrecy until the current committee’s election results of 2003 and 2005. His 2005 total represented a rise in six votes and nine percentage points since 2003 and was the closest he had come to gaining election in the 27 years since he first became been eligible. He fell five votes short in 2007 and dropped to nine short in 2009. Santo’s name will once again appear on the Veterans Committee’s list in 2011. All of the Cubs legends mentioned in this story came with the team to Arizona for spring training every year and each Cactus League season presents an opportunity to get a first look at future Hall of Famers.
