Timely Hero
Jacoby Blows
1. George (Yankees) - End of story. There isn't a better owner in sports. He will spend anything he can to win a title and that has been proven. I wouldn't want anyone else owning my team.
2. John Henry (Red Sox) - Although I hate the Red Sox, they have a great management and ownership. Henry will spend money with anyone, and he's not scared to pay a draft pick. The Red Sox have been winning since he was there.
3. Jerry Reinsdorf (White Sox/Bulls) - He is the reason this debate came to mind. Reinsdorf, I'd guess, has more titles than any owner in sports today; 7 to be exact. Although he doesn't spend money like the Red Sox and Yankee's, he's always been willing to spend if it meant bringing home a title. Reinsdorf took a lot of heat when Jordan left the Bulls, and he was constantly criticized on the South Side of Chicago for "not spending" enough with the White Sox. Call it luck, but he has done everything in his power to keep his winners, winning. Reading this article pretty much puts everything in perspective on Jerry. (http://www.suntimes.com/sports/basketball/bulls/1408639,CST-SPT-joe02.article) Although he's not the most loved owner in sports, you can't argue with his track record.
4. Jerry Jones (Cowboys) - This one will strike up some controversy, but it's tough to argue with his track record. He spends money, and he takes chances. Sometimes, his chances don't pan out but when they do DYNASTIES form. Jerry is a great owner, but hopefully he doesn't become senile like Al Davis.
5. Michael "Mike" Ilitch Sr. (Red Wings) - It's tough to argue with a guy who wins Stanley Cups, spends money, and makes sure there's never a rebuilding period with his team. He would have been higher on this list if he didn't let Scotty Bowman go, but he's still one of the best in sports.
