There are only a few elite jobs in the United States. One is the President of the United States – only 43 men have held the position. Another is owning a professional sports franchise. There are only 30 MLB teams, 32 NFL teams, 30 NBA teams, and 30 NHL teams. When it comes to sports ownership, no one does it better than Mr. Mike Ilitch who owns the Detroit Tigers and the Detroit Red Wings.
Mr. Ilitch, affectionately known as “Mr. I”, is the epitome of a sports team owner. He is dedicated to seeing his teams succeed, he is not afraid to invest in his players, and he is dedicated to the City of Detroit.
