Most baseball fans know the names of their team's managers and general managers; the men they see running their team on a daily basis. However, some of the most important men in baseball, the owners, remain unknown to their team's fans.
While it may look like the manager and GM run the team, every decision first has to be run by the men who financially support the team. In reality, it is the owners who call the shots, so it is important to the success of a team for its owner to understand what they are doing baseball-wise.
Obviously, these men are intelligent and very well-educated. They know how the business aspect of owning a team works, but if they don't have some prior sports knowledge or an understanding of what it takes to make an MLB team win, then their team will be unsuccessful. Unsuccessful teams do not please fans, and the fans are the most important part of any team. Without the fans, there is no revenue—without revenue, there will cease to be a team.
So who are the current owners with the best "sports smarts?" I have ranked every owner of every team in MLB, from worst to first, with that aspect in mind. Now keep in mind that I am not trying to say which owners are good and which are bad, I am simply stating which owners seem most...qualified for the job.
