CHICAGO (AP) -- Chicago Cubs president John McDonough resigned Tuesday after a little more than a year on the job and became president of the Chicago Blackhawks.
"I do see parallels" between the jobs, McDonough said at an afternoon news conference. "We have a lot of work to do."
The most striking similarity may be long championship droughts; the Cubs haven't won a World Series since 1908 and the Blackhawks haven't captured the Stanley Cup since 1961.
McDonough leaves the Cubs at a time when the team is up for sale.
"It played a role," McDonough said. "But this was the right opportunity at the right time."
