Somewhat OT: Wrigley Chewing Gum

    For those of you who thought there was somewhat of a chance that Wrigley would buy our stadium, it's not going to happen.  Today, Mars Inc. (Candy Company-Spearmint/Juicy Fruit gums, Life Savers, etc.) agreed to buy out the Wrigley Gum Company for $23 billion dollars.  According to marketwatch.com, the deal will create a candy/gum superpower with net income of $28 billion a year.  So it doesnt look like this Wrigley company is looking to invest in this Wrigley Field.  Kind of interesting, almost irrelevant to the Cubs because they were never really much in the running for the Wrigley sale,but just some food for thought (or maybe gum, it lasts longer).
