Owning two sports franchises as dysfunctional as the Bulls and the White Sox hasn't affected his mental health, even as they have driven their fans crazy at times.
What Reinsdorf wants in his golden years is another championship or two, though neither team looks close to fulfilling that wish. His front-office tandems, GarPax and KenRick, are trying desperately to change that however they can, as the White Sox's rebuild indicates.
It took a tag-team effort from Vice President Ken Williams and general manager Rick Hahn to convince Reinsdorf the time finally was right to rebuild, something the Sox haven't attempted since manager Jerry Manuel's era two decades ago, which resulted in a division championship and a first-round playoff sweep at the hands of the Mariners in 2000.
