Theo Epstein, Bostonian of the Year. Two of my favourite bits: first, a good quote from Theo -
“Anyone who points to a direct causal relationship between that [Cabrera-and-Mientkiewicz-for-Nomar] trade and our turnaround is missing the boat.”
I presume he meant “missing the point”, but I like how even after it seemed successful Theo was careful not to define his career solely by The Trade.
Also, Theo as Borat is just a funny idea -
Epstein is a good impressionist and can enliven even the dullest contract discussion by assuming the voice of “Borat,” the hilarious Kazakh character from HBO’s Da Ali G Show.
Carrying on both the rich Jewish comedic tradition and the rich familial creative tradition, I see.
