Casey you are an ideal EMBA candidate. EMBA programs like 10+ years of experience, with a strong leadership component. I am sure if you have CEO aspirations, you have many direct reports, budgetary responsibility, territorial responsibility, etc. so, these kinds of things are what impress an EBMA program. If you can articulate what you bring to the table that will be valuable to other similarly-experienced managers, you should have no problem getting in. As for the baseball, great to mention. Since it was so long ago, you might not want to focus on it,but the adcoms like to know what shaped you and what made you who you are--sounds like that was an impactful part of your background. As for picking schools, since you want to rise in your own company, ask upper mgt which programs they like or think highly of. Also see if there is a concentration of upper mgt. folks who hail from a particular school. Otherwise, look at welll ranked programs in the region of your targeted long term employment. For example, if you want to work for Bof A, look at Duke, UNC, Virginia, Emory or Georgia Tech for EMBA.
