Best Owners in Pro Sports

The Top Ten
1 George Steinbrenner - Yankees

the Yankees ARE champions and he is too

2 Robert Kraft - Patriots
3 Mark Cuban - Mavericks

most devoted owner in sports. gets a little crazy sometimes but only because he loves the mavs. Also since cuban came to the mavs, the mavs became the 4th team in nba history to win 50 percent or more games in 10 straight seasons. CUBAN 4 PREZ

4 Jerry Jones - Cowboys
5 The City of Green Bay, WI - Packers

No pompus, selfish or greedy owner, just devoted fans that have sold out their stadium since 1966.

More cities should own their sports teams

6 Jerry Reinsdorf - Bulls / White Sox

Has done a fantastic job w/ Bulls and Sox. One of only a few owners to win championships in multiple sports! He should fire John Paxson though, he's made a huge mess of team that was really promising

Can't say enough good things about him. A Class Act

Only made list because of Bulls success

7 Jerry Buss - Lakers
8 John Henry - Red Sox

With acquisition of Liverpool FC, John Henry is proving that he is a great owner in any realm of sports.

9 Pat Bowlen - Broncos
10 Mike Ilitch - Red Wings/Tigers
The Contenders
11 Paul Allen - Seahawks
12 Joe Gibbs - Redskins / Joe Gibbs Racing

rich man!.. has the redskins in NFL and Gibbs racing in Nascar

13 Russell Crowe - South Sydney Rabbitohs Russell Ira Crowe is an actor, film producer and musician. Although a New Zealand citizen, he has lived most of his life in Australia and identifies himself as an Australian.
14 Jeffrey Lurie - Philadelphia Eagles
15 Mickey Arison - Heat
16 Connie Mack - Athletics

You can't have the best owners of all time without this man. Unlike Peter Angelos, Connie was a smart businessman and was loved not by his players but the City of Philadelphia. You don't see that anymore. As owner he brought joy to Philadelphia and build 2 big great eras for the team, O'kay he lost a lot BUT he won a lot too. His managerial record was something but as owner, he brought in so many great ones who would become Hall of Famers. Great players like Frank "Home Run" Baker, Eddie Plank, Jimmie Foxx, Eddie Collins, Al Simmons, Lefty Grove and so many more. He's truly Philladelphia Special.

17 Leonard Tose - Philadelphia Eagles

Even though The Eagles didn't win a World Championship with him around, I put him on this list for what he did beyond football. He was instrumental in helping established the Ronald McDonald House and today (as of 2020) thanks to him The Ronald McDonald House has a global network of chapters in 64 countries and regions under three core programs: The Ronald McDonald House, Ronald McDonald Family Room and Ronald McDonald Care Mobile.
