Fortune magazine raised some eyebrows Thursday with a subjective, arbitrary and annual list of the world’s greatest leaders.
The list included the usual suspects â?? the Pope, Jeff Besos, Angela Merkel â?? but the real surprise is who occupied the top spot: Chicago Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein.
Even Epstein was surprised about the “honor,” instead giving credit to the rest of the organization. But given Epstein’s ranking on the list, given his ties to Boston and given the relative sports inactivity associated with late March, we figured we’d try to pinpoint the best leader in Boston sports history.
