“We brought this idea a little over a year ago to Tony Pettit and his team and they immediately seized on the opportunity,” said Cubs president of business operations Crane Kenney. “A lot of logistics to bring all the schools in, rearrange the schedule, accept the idea that we would play a great tournament at Wrigley Field.”
