George Steinbrenner has to be up there in the best ever. I mean, many people hate him and all that for "buying" his players. I can understand where some people come from, but hey if you have money, why not use it?

I wouldn't put Steinbrenner up there. The 1990's World Series teams were all constructed while he was out, suspended by MLB. Under his supervision, the Yankees have just shit the bed repeatedly.
Bill Veeck would be my pick. He planted the ivy at Wrigley Field. He integrated the American League with the signings of Larry Doby and Satchel Paige. He had the first ever "Fan Appreciation Night" called "Good Ol' Joe Earley Night" in response to a fan writing to him that the fans deserve more for supporting the game. He had tons of strange promotions, including Grandstand Managers Day and Disco Demolition Night. He started the tradition of Harry Caray singing at the 7th Inning Stretch. He was the only owner who testified in favor of Curt Flood in the major court case on free agency.
He only won one World Series as an owner, but the mark he left on the game is incredible.

NHL - Ed Snider (Flyers) always tries to put a good team on the ice and is involved in all aspects of the team. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Snider |

NFL: Robert Kraft (Kraft Family, New England Patriots)... they turned around one of the sorriest teams in the history of the NFL by creating an organization that proved a dynasty can be built in the Salary Cap era. They have also done this while keeping the fans their number one priority.

He probably should have tried harder this year and fired Bob Clarke years ago. |

As much as i hate the patriots i have to agree. What he's done with them in this day of free agency is amazing. He consistantly finds a way to keep that team among the elite. |

Tom Golisano is the reason why the Sabres are still playing hockey in Buffalo. And he re-energized the community about the team and put a lot of money into team functions and HSBC Arena.

Besides the fact that they have the highest ticket prices in the NFL, fan priority has been high on their list. And being a Patriot fan all my life I may have a somewhat biased opinion but do aggree Robert Kraft is a great owner. However my choice for NFL is as someone else said, The Rooneys, without a doubt.  |
