    As the Chicago Cubs’ quest for a fair stadium refinancing deal continues to drag on with the Wrigleyville community throwing up roadblocks to slow down the settlement process, a new and potentially viable option to Wrigley Field has emerged.

    Rosemont mayor Brad Stephens told me this morning in a CSNChicago exclusive that he is willing to give the Cubs and the Ricketts family a 25-acre parcel of land in the village that is a prime piece of real estate large enough to accommodate a new ballpark ...

    Are they sure he didn't just pawn it all to pay for beer and onion blossoms?

    Either that or he was away in "nota bene". Possibly a deleted chapter from The Phantom Tollbooth.

    Heh, I came here expecting NB to stand for anything but New Brunswick and make some claim that NB = New Brunswick and those letters should not be used for any other reason!

    "Former MLB Star" is probably what threw me off the Matt Stairs scent.

    After they retire anyone who ever suited up becomes a "former MLB star" apparently. In Stairs' case, while he wasn't ever a star, he did have a long and productive career.

    There is a New Street in New Brunswick, New Jersey ... which I consider the nexus of novelty.

    You don't think Stairs had any claim to stardom in 1999? Top 10 in his league in HR (with 38!), and drew some MVP votes...

    SI described him as an "emerging star" in 1997.

    Anybody with this shirt designed for him was a star.
