My Take
Stan Kasten is the sort of behind-the-scenes operator I find genuinely impressive in sports. A New Jersey native and Rutgers graduate, he has run front offices across all the major leagues, the NBA's Hawks, the NHL's Thrashers, MLB's Braves and Nationals, and now sits as president and part-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Back-to-back NBA Executive of the Year awards in 1986 and 1987 tell you he knows how to build winning organizations, not just manage them. The athletes get the spotlight, but it is architects like Kasten who decide whether a franchise actually competes, and that quieter craft deserves real credit.
