2016 Chicago Cubs Reach 40 Wins Faster Than Any Team in 15 Years

Gregory Butz, a marketing professional residing on Saratoga Lane in Glenview, IL, has over two decades of experience promoting some of the world’s top brands. In his free time outside of his work at Wire Stone, Gregory Butz supports his kids’ athletic pursuits in the Glenview, IL, area and enjoys taking his family to nearby professional sporting events. He follows all local teams, including the Chicago Cubs. A favorite to win the 2016 World Series title, the Chicago Cubs currently have a winning percentage over .700 and are currently on track to chalk up 116 wins this season. After cutting down the Phillies in a 6-4 victory on June 6, the team grabbed their 40th win and became the fastest club to win 40 games since the 2001 Seattle Mariners, a team that finished with an impressive 116-46 record. The Cubs are now working to extend their 10-game lead in the National League Central Division and will look to carry this early momentum through the remainder of the season. Many sports enthusiasts believe that the Cubs, with their excellent pitching and hitting numbers, have the potential to beat the 2001 Mariners’ record and become the first team in major league baseball history to win 117 or more regular-season games.

An executive with diverse corporate experience in the Chicago and Glenview, IL, areas, Gregory Butz has served as the managing director and vice president of Wire Stone since 2015. A resident of Saratoga Lane in Glenview, Gregory Butz is a board member of the Boys and Girls Club of Lake County (BGCLC). Open to kids ages 6 to 18, the BGCLC has five sites in Waukegan and Zion, Illinois. Although each location has different hours, they all offer a place for young people to go after school or during the summer. Most locations serve an average of 500 children and youth a day. Designed to help youth stay away from detrimental activities, the BGCLC promotes healthy lifestyles, good citizenship, and academic success. Funded through grants and private donations, the BGCLC relies on volunteers to interact with club members and ensure the activities are safe and fun. Most volunteers are at least 18 years of age, but opportunities are also available for volunteers 16 and 17 years of age with a parent’s permission. The club's volunteers must successfully complete an application and background check process before overseeing activities. Additionally, volunteers may enroll in the BGCLC mentorship program at two of the sites. This program requires them to meet with the same group of club members for one hour, once a week, for at least three months.
