Cubs mastermind Theo Epstein is No. 1 on Fortune’s ‘greatest leaders’ list. The pope is No. 3.; Washington Post, March 23, 2017

Marissa Payne, Washington Post; Cubs mastermind Theo Epstein is No. 1 on Fortune’s ‘greatest leaders’ list. The pope is No. 3.

"The Chicago Cubs winning the World Series was a big deal. Like, a really big deal, according to Fortune, which put the team’s president, Theo Epstein, on top of its “World’s Greatest Leaders” list on Thursday. The 43-year-old baseball mastermind beat out Chinese businessman Jack Ma, the executive chairman of the ever-growing Alibaba commerce empire, as well as No. 3 Pope Francis — you know, the head of the Catholic Church.

Yes, it appears ending the Cubs’ 108-year title drought is much more impressive than, say, calling on the Church to accept LGBT worshipers, or suggesting that maybe it’s time to loosen Catholicism’s strict rules about celibacy among clergy, or just generally guiding the moral compasses of the estimated 1.2 billion Catholics in the world."
