Top 10 Reasons Why Baseball Fans Make Better Managers

This is from a post by Mike Kent at BleacherReport. He believes baseball fans make better managers because of their patience, critical thinking, and humility -- all valid points. Here are his top 10 reasons why baseball fans make better managers:

10. Appreciation of history and tradition

9. Resilience, and acceptance of defeat

8. How individuals work in teams

7. Critical thinking

6. Love of stats—and the skills to use them and detect when others abuse them

5. Appreciation of randomness, and of our instinct to read patterns into such randomness

4. Acceptance of the unknowable

3. Patience

2. Humility

1. Love of excellence

Great points! I certainly believe that sports fans and athletes generally possess many qualities necessary for success in business, especially as a leader.
