A family's first pitch to remember
In 2009, The Ricketts Family became the new owners for the Chicago Cubs upcoming season. Our family went to the 2010 Opening Day for our boys to enjoy their first Cubs game.
While watching batting practice, my husband got a tap on the shoulder from Mr. Tom Ricketts. He asked us if we'd like to throw out the first pitch as a family since Bill Murray wasn't able to attend.
From us being in the newspapers, on the news, and even an appearance on ESPN, it'll forever be a day that makes us smile, remember and forever be Cubs fans.
