Brother Reinsdorf has seen multiple division championships and one World Series win in 2005 with the White Sox. During the Michael Jordan era, the Chicago Bulls won six NBA titles in eight years under Brother Reinsdorf. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2016. “I think the highlight of my sports career was winning the World Series. It hadn’t been done for 88 years.” Championships aside, he loves the tremendous amount of commitment to the ideal of Tikkun Olam that both teams have. “Each team has a foundation. I can’t even begin to list the good that they do for our community, particularly in education.” One example he gave was the White Sox Amateur City Elite (ACE) program, which provides inner-city kids with educational opportunities and avenues to further pursue a career in collegiate or professional sports. “In the twelve years since this program has started, more than 190 ACE players have received a four-year scholarship to college and 21 kids have been drafted into major league teams.” Success comes with hard decisions, and Brother Reinsdorf has definitely found this to be one of the hardest parts of the job. As the CEO of two major organizations, he has to be able to navigate public relations, plan strategically and fill open positions with people who are good at what they do. “That’s the easy part. In sports, the hard part is not letting your judgement be clouded by what the media or fans think because they don’t have all of the facts. There’s an old saying that if you listen to the fans, you’ll be sitting up there with them.” He does his best to produce teams that the fans can enjoy watching but is cautious to make sure he has all of the facts before making a decision. When asking Brother Reinsdorf if he was ready for baseball season to start his reply was, “We lost 100 games last year, but we have a lot of young quality players coming in. I’m excited to see the growth and looking forward to a much better year this year than last.”
