It's MLB All Star Week... So we are bringing back one of our very first episodes!
In this special episode, we sit down with Tom Ricketts, Executive Chairman of the Chicago Cubs, for an unforgettable conversation that brings heart, history, and a whole lot of team spirit to the mic!
As the 4th-ever episode of A Little Something Extra, this one hits it out of the park. We share how the Cubs' support of GiGi’s Playhouse has impacted both the team and the community, from memorable moments like GiGi singing the National Anthem at Wrigley Field, to the generous support from Cubs Cares.
In this episode, we explore:
- How the Cubs are reimagining the “Day at the Ballpark” experience
- The unique connection between sports and service
- Tom’s favorite Cubs memories and players
- The effects of COVID
- And of course… a rousing rendition of Go Cubs Go!
Whether you're a lifelong Cubs fan, a champion of inclusion, or someone who just loves a good behind-the-scenes story, this episode will remind you why teamwork, on and off the field, makes all the difference.
