While there is a source from the AP (via SI.com) describing Paul Dolan's new role w/ the team as "controlling owner", Major League Baseball itself describes the role as "control person". Clearly the MLB's preferred term should be used in the lead. We have no reason to think the AP received this information anywhere but from the MLB, and while I think it's unlikely, it's entirely possible the AP made an error in reporting PD's new role. I also think the phrase "controlling owner" is entirely too close to "majority owner", possibly leading to confusion over Paul Dolan's new managerial role versus his actual ownership stake in the team (the Cleveland Indians website still lists his father Larry as the "owner").
