Has he ever been in GQ magazine? Is he an example of someone who catches all the breaks? For many of us, it takes years and years to find our dream careers or even success. Many of us never find it, but Theo Epstein wasted no time. He could be President of the United States and/or commissioner of baseball before his life is over.

If you guys could do me a favor, please report Larry M's homophobic and hateful response. He is a disgrace to the Answers community. Also thumbs down his every response because he's not a serious user. He's nothing more than a mentally challenged and right winged conservative troll. Thank you!

It's been said that Theo Epstein's true destiny is to be the Senator from Massachusetts. That might be a step down after his success with the Red Sox.
The Epsteins are a family known for success at a young age. Theo's grandfather and great-uncle wrote Casablanca before they were 30. I believe his father is an English professor. Epstein obviously is smart, but he also works very hard. The man worked in the Padres public relations department while attending law school. In his first year, someone called Theo's cellphone at 2 a.m. in December in order to leave a message. He got Theo himself, working at his desk.
He's made some mistakes (hello, Edgar Renteria), which sort of comes with the territory. After 2004, he never had to buy a drink for the rest of his life. If two more wins come this week, he may not be allowed to buy a meal again.

Do you've any idea what percentage writers available all started writing even as they were toddlers? There are dozens, if no more suitable of revealed authors available who loved writing as a young person and theory they could get revealed. once you're a author, it is your dream. even if you're twelve or thirty 2, your dream is to be revealed. perchance they do lack the "definitions, the adventure, and the understand-how" of having revealed, yet do you've all that? Writing isn't some thing you study directly and then keep it. you've were given to nurture the craft. you're continually getting more suitable suitable, gaining knowledge of latest tricks and gaining new advice. you're in no way executed starting to be as a author. someone suggested the very incontrovertible truth that countless the more youthful writers go with countless publicity to change into some thing. nicely, what do you imagine human beings like Stephen King and John Grisham had to do? Do you imagine they immediately had books flying off the cabinets? No they had to paintings flat out to change right into a relations call. youngsters go with to get revealed because it really is their dream, and that is not any longer against the law and it really is maximum likely no longer incorrect. no man or woman questions the kids who dream of getting into the Olympics at 16, or the kids who paintings flat out to enter college early because they're desires.

Uh...No...He was a lucky SOB(and I'm a Red Sox fan, for the record) who went to Harvard and probably knew someone who knew someone in the Red Sox organization...You don't see many 30something GMs in pro sports...
I guess he's doing something right...but I also guess that its actually other people behind the scenes making him look good...

He interned with the Orioles...and also worked with the Padres where his boss was Larry Lucchino...when Lucchino came in with the Sox so did Theo...and he went to Yale...not Harvard...if you consider him lucky his luck comes from his hard word.
