Brian Williams gets a call from Guy Baldwin complaining about the corporatization of Wrigley Field and surrounding streets

Guy Baldwin
   John Williams is a boring WGN radio host and right before baseball season he was talking about te changes at Wrigley Field and expressing some reservations about the changes in the stadium as Cubs ballpark is continually changed into a corporate piggy bank for Tom Ricketts and the Ricketettes. The changes made through Wrigley Field have been appalling and this year many life-long Cub fans are again seeing a transition before their eyes to please the checkbooks of Tom Ricketts and this being placing the bullpen far and wide hidden from the fans. it had been people could see the bullpen and which pitcher was preparing to replace the starter or other relief pitchers but now Tom Ricketts has taken this part of charm away from Wrigley Field.
The Jumbo screen is outrageous and dwarfs the famous original scoreboard and more and more this iconic image of the ball park becomes less visibly noticeable where eventually it will get to the point that Mr Ricketts will replace it seeing the spot a great place to allow some large beer company to advertise its bad product to the faithful masses. i called John Williams and told him major ugly changes have been taken place outside in which John had refereed to as Disneyland and I refereed to on his program as  suburban sprawl crap. Ricketts wants to be his own personal Wrigleyville village town hall like Suburban Chicago where the village allows these bad baring chains everywhere and they pay a tribute to the village leader and local government to rent a key spot on an interchange or avenue and tis fact of government explains why so many towns look the same and there are fewer and fewer mom and pop stores. There is now a Subway and a Dunken Donuts in place where bars once stood and these changes and bad chain stores will inundate the surrounding areas of the ballpark in the coming years as Tom Ricketts seeks to destroy alcohol sales competitors in the area and make more money from Cub fans preventing it from going elsewhere and destroying the surrounding areas that were much more basis for the teams popularity than any bad play on the field all these decades of turnabout for this baseball franchise.Image result for subway sandwich shop outside wrigley field
