So last week Fortune magazine voted the Chicago Cubs president of baseball operations, Theo Epstein, the world’s greatest leader. This, while surprising, certainly isn’t a stretch. Theo is responsible for ending an 86 year drought in Boston, and ended the 108 year streak in Chicago.

While the award is certainly an honor, Theo was self-deprecating when speaking about the honor. Which you almost would have to, right? I mean this is a huge accomplishment which you can’t really expect.

Well in keeping the Cubs playful environment, cubs owner, Tom Ricketts, spoke up on this honor.

This team, top to bottom is such a joy to watch, follow, and cover.
