Kalapse Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 (edited) Wasn't there a trib article about this not to far back? Edited May 26, 2005 by Kalapse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Well.. he definitely does give a lot back to the community. I say it's a safe bet that he's the most generous owner.. even ahead of Mark Cuban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthraxFan93 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Your right out of the owners we have in Chicago.. Cubs- Only care about the bottom line Bears- See Cubs Hawks- Taught the bears and the Cubs how to do bussiness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 It really depends on how you measure ownership of a major league team. If it's charity, it's the Sox ownership, hands down. If it's putting winners on the field, court or rink, Reinsdorf and the Trib are the closest you are going to come. Sox have four division titles (including 1994), Cubs have 2 and one wild card. But, then again, the Halas family has owned the Bears since their inception and they've won a few titles. So, how do you measure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Da Bulls automatically put JR in front. Plus him giving back to the community. Sox/Bulls Training facility. The ballparks he's made(Mt Greenwood is one) and renovating basketball courts around the city. JR is definately the best. Trib - Believe in "Charity starts and ends in la casa" Bears - "What? You're supposed to spend money to win? Naaaaah" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 QUOTE(Steff @ May 26, 2005 -> 10:25 PM) Did you forget about the Bulls...? No, I just left them out because he DID bring 6 championships, but he also had the laughingstock of the league for 5-6 years. So, it evened out.

So, it evened out. I don't think he was a laughing stock with the Bulls for more than 3 or 4 years(depends on when he acquired them). Then they got Jordan in 84 and they've made the playoffs for 14 straight years. 6 bad years isn't enough to even that out. And they made the playoffs again this year.

You're right, but they were 6 REALLY BAD YEARS!!! And don't forget, 16 teams make it into the playoffs, not 8 like in baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvxplorer Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I'm not sure what the criteria is, but I'm surprised no one mentioned Bill Veeck. Also, as far as baseball minds go, Charlie Comiskey is somewhat the equivalent of Halas in football, being one of the founders of the AL.
