When the Tribune Company looks to sell the Chicago Cubs this off-season, rowdy Mavericks owner Mark Cuban wants a seat at the table. Known for referee bashing and sideline antics while cheering on his NBA team, the billionaire yesterday reiterated his desire to own one of the crown jewels of professional sports in an interview with a Chicago DJ.
"When a team that's so iconic and such an amazing team like the Cubbies come up, it's an opportunity I couldn't let slip by," he said. Although he hasn’t made the final decision to bid for the team, Cuban has already picked out game-day seats for himself and his buddies. “We’ll be out in the right-field bleachers—that’s the best place to watch a game,' he said.
