I want to expand a bit on what I wrote earlier this morning about Chicago Cubs President Theo Epstein.
The time has come to put Epstein into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
At 42, Epstein might the greatest executive the game has ever known.
By the age of 30, the youngest General Manager in MLB history, Epstein guided the Boston Red Sox to their first World Series title in 86 years.
Now he has guided the Chicago Cubs to their first World Series title in 108 years.
In the space of a dozen years, Epstein erased nearly two centuries of misfortune for two of Major League Baseball's most beloved franchises and turned them into champions.
Simply put, Epstein could never work another day in Major League Baseball and his legacy would outshine men who had been in the game decades longer.
Perhaps the only thing left for Epstein to do is to bring a World Series title to Cleveland.
