>> Old School Media: Whenever I’m at Yankee Stadium, it always makes me smile to see the big FTI Consulting banner advertisement behind left field. I love that one of legal technology’s high profile companies is a sponsor of my favorite team. When I’m with a vendor or a lawyer, it’s almost-always the first topic of conversation everybody is always curious about it. What I didn’t know was the family history behind Jack Dunn IV, the company’s president and CEO until last week, when The New York Times‘ “The Boss” column featured Dunn, and told the story of his “life beyond baseball.” Turns out Dunn’s family owned the Baltimore Orioles, when it was a minor-league team, and his great grandfather recruited Babe Ruth.
“Four days after I was born, my father, then the owner, whisked me off to spring training,” said Dunn in the article. “When I was growing up, and the Orioles were a major-league team, Brooks Robinson would come to my birthday parties. … It was a fun-filled childhood,” Dunn recalled in The Times.
