“When they sold Wrigley Field, Yosh came with the deal because he had been there so long and was a great friend of Mr. Wrigley,” Cubs Hall of Fame outfielder Billy Williams said on Yosh Kawano Day in 2008. “He’s a legend. When Leo came he wanted it known, ‘I’m the guy in charge.’ Once Yosh knew that, everything was fine. Before that, it was Yosh’s way or the highway. Then it was Leo’s way.”
