My Take
Thomas Ricketts interests me as a study in unexpected reinvention. An Omaha-born investment banker who co-founded Incapital and built a business in the corporate bond market, he then became chairman of the Chicago Cubs, one of baseball's most storied and long-suffering franchises. Carrying the hopes of a fan base is a very different burden from running a securities firm, and it takes real nerve to apply financial discipline to something as emotional as a ballclub. I appreciate steady, businesslike owners like him; sports survive because someone with a head for numbers is willing to shoulder the dream.
