OK, Tsutsumi is the owner of a Japanese pro-baseball team (Seibu lions),
while Mori is the (ex?) head coach.
So what are we to expect? The team captain is Akiyama, I think.

# but is this kind of knowledge required by a "local" newspaper?

An alternative possibility is that Tsutsumi was once ranked the
richest person by FORTUNE magazine, and also Mori (differenet from above)
also ranked high (perhaps top, too).
So we need a runner-up or once-top-ranked billionaire.
Queen Elizabeth comes to mind.

Jordan is the champ of ONE ball, Holyfield of TWO knuckles, and
Mansell of FOUR wheels.  So we need a champion of three-something.
# I have no idea.

Who's to be thrown out next? :-)
