    grinned: We dont need a plane to fly home.After putting together the first
    Boston Red Sox team to win the World Series in 86 years, he masterminded the
    Chicago Cubs first title in 108.Good chance baseballs drought-buster will be
    flying to Cooperstown one day for his Hall of Fame induction.Its fitting its got
    to be done with one of the best games of all time, he said after Wednesday
    nights 8-7, 10-inning thriller over the Cleveland Indians in Game 7. Just
    unbelievable. What a testament to our players, their grit.A sports editor of the
    Yale Daily News with a 1995 degree, Epstein interned with the Baltimore Orioles,
    went along with Larry Lucchino to the Padres and earned a law degree at the
    University of San Diego. He was hired by the Red Sox under Lucchino in November
    2002, at 28 the youngest general manager in major league history.Boston won the
    World Series in 2004 and again in 2007. Epstein quit after the 2011 season to
    become president of baseball operations of the Cubs, who had been bought by the
    Ricketts family two years earlier.After 10 years, no matter how passionate you
    are, you see the same issues, day after day and you are around the same people
    day after day, Epstein said then. You are around the same landscape day after
    day for 10 years and eventually you will benefit from a new landscape and fresh
    problems.He and general manager Jed Hoyer led a near-total makeover.Albert
    Almora Jr., who scored the go-ahead run on Ben Zobrists 10th-inning single, was
    the first player drafted under Epsteins regime, taken sixth overall in 2012.
    Third baseman Kris Bryant was drafted in 2013 and outfielder Kyle Schwarber in
    2014, and the Cubs traded for pitcher Jake Arrieta (from Baltimore), first
    baseman Anthony Rizzo (San Diego) and shortstop Addison Russell
    (Oakland).Chicago spent on the free-agent market after the 2014 season for
    pitcher Jon Lester and last offseason for pitcher John Lackey, all-purpose
    player Ben Zobrist and outfielders Dexter Fowler and Jason Heyward.Hard-throwing
    closer Aroldis Chapman, who got the win after blowing a 6-3, eighth-inning lead,
    was acquired from the New York Yankees in July, when Mike Montgomery, who got
    the save, was obtained from Seattle.Catcher Willson Contreras and second baseman
    Javier Baez were holdovers from the administration of Jim Hendry, the Cubs GM
    from 2002-11.While managing against the Cubs in the World Series, Clevelands
    Terry Francona praised Epstein, his boss in Boston from 2004-11.Theo had the
    guts to hire me up there when, I dont know, I didnt have a ton of resume and
    they were expected to win, and he believed in me, Francona said. We went eight
    years of a lot of good baseball. Youve been to Boston enough to know if you can
    survive with somebody through eight years there, that says enough right
    there.Epsteins grandfather Phillip and grand-uncle Julius J. Epstein won Academy
    Awards along with Howard E. Koch for the screenplay of Casablanca. While his
    relatives earned fame for fiction, Theo had made his mark in stark reality:
    ending two of baseballs most notorious streaks.Our fans just deserve this so
    much, and all the former Cubs -- everyone, he said. This is for so many people:
    Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, Billy Williams, whos still here to come celebrate with
    us tomorrow when we see him. Were bringing the trophy home to you guys. Its been
    a century in the making. Cheap Nike Shox
