Chicago, Illinois, businessman Sohrab Tebyanian operates Andriana Furs, a retail company he launched in 1987. In his leisure time, Sohrab Tebyanian is a Chicago Cubs fan.
In April 2023, the Chicago Cubs joined the Los Angeles Dodgers to honor legendary baseball player Jackie Robinson with a statue at Centerfield Plaza. The LA Dodgers have made celebrating Robinson an annual tradition. In 2023, the Dodgers extended an invitation to Cubs manager and former Dodger player David Ross. This is the first time an opposing team has joined the Dodgers to honor Robinson. Nicole Whiteman, Dodgers Foundation CEO, opened the ceremony with words honoring African-Americans. The Cubs recognized the importance of celebrating the impact of Robinson’s participation in professional baseball for 76 years. The ceremony was also an opportunity to acknowledge that, while Robinson accomplished much for race relations in sports during his time, today’s organizations must continue to work for equality.
