May 23, 201411 yr Maybe this should be in the Diamond Club. Interesting take on Jerry's influence. http://nyti.ms/1nx0gRf
May 23, 201411 yr While not necessarily inaccurate, they couldn't have painted a more negative picture of Reinsdorf. Makes it look like he's been a big baby demanding power, as if that's all he does or nobody else is interested in the same things Edited May 23, 201411 yr by Jake
May 23, 201411 yr We all know JR isn't a pushover, and he isn't afraid to push his opinion. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a lot of truth there.
May 23, 201411 yr Fun fact: Bob Iger, one of the candidates, is married to former sports babe Willow Bay. That's all I got on this topic.

Bob iger, head of f***ing Disney. The guy BOUGHT Star Wars and marvel. It would be very interesting what he can do as commissioner. But I also doubt he wants it.
May 23, 201411 yr Anything Reinsdorf can do to help the Sox and hurt the other team in town, I'm all for.
May 24, 201411 yr Author What I find interesting is that this story appears in the NY Times and not in the local Chicago media. Chicago gets Ricketts and the rooftops, when this is a much more significant story regarding baseball. Why is that?

May 24, 201411 yr Wow, if Jerry wants the next commissioner to be tougher on the players' union, then i'm gonna have to go against jerry on this one.
May 27, 201411 yr http://sports.yahoo.com/news/as-mlb-looks-...-010452492.html Passan article asserting Reinsdorf's power/influence might be waning a bit.
