There is a comment after each ranking at the link..

I'm not exactly sure how this writer, Jim Caple, feels Bill Neukom of the WS champions only deserves to be 10th, but then again he's right on target with a bottom three of Nutting, Wilpon, and the McCourts..

1. Interesting

the Rockies ownership is so low. I think they're doing a good job, all things considering.

2. Yeah, I agree..
the Rockies have a relatively new nice stadium, get good attendance, are always competitive, and have been in the playoffs 2 out of the last 4 years. Number 20?..No way. I should think somewhere near the top ten would be more appropriate.

3. But don't the Rockies require their players to be ultra-Christian?
That could affect how the ownership is perceived.

4. I don't know if that article is true
Players, coaches, and former players contested the claims at the time the article came out.
