40. Frank Boulton

We all know how difficult it is to build a stadium on Long Island. If you think that’s difficult, try selling it out for every game even though you don’t have a professional team. Not content being a minor league baseball magnate, Boulton went a step further and created an entertainment destination at a YMCA to bring culture to the downtown of his beloved Bay Shore. Even though Long Island boasts the Jones Beach Amphitheater and the Nassau Coliseum as sports and entertainment centers, Boulton gives personality and local flavor to the family and cultural scene. These are uniquely LI gifts that it takes a force of nature to build and a force of good nature to maintain.
