Former Boston Red Sox president Larry Lucchino, who helped the team win its first World Series since 1918, has died, the team said. He was 78.
Larry Lucchino, the former president of the Boston Red Sox who helped break the 'Curse of the Bambino,' has died, the team announced Tuesday. He was 78. The Red Sox posted about Lucchino’s death on X. 'The Red Sox & the sports world have lost a giant,' the team said. 'Larry was a visionary whose competitive spirit & strong will took sports franchises to new heights, particularly ours.
He was a curse-breaker, ballpark-preserver & community champion. Thank you, Larry.' Lucchino was a D.C. lawyer and worked with the Washington Redskins and Baltimore Orioles as the firm he worked at, Williams & Connolly, had an ownership stake in both of those teams. He served on the Redskins’ board of directors from 1979 to 1985 and was the president of the Baltimore Orioles from 1988 to 1993.
Larry Lucchino was one of the most accomplished executives that our industry has ever had,' MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said. 'He was deeply driven, he understood baseball’s place in our communities, and he had a keen eye for executive talent. Larry’s vision for Camden Yards played a vital role in advancing fan-friendly ballparks across the game. 'He followed up by overseeing the construction of Petco Park, which remains a jewel of the San Diego community.
Larry was a formidable opponent in any arena, and while he battled hard, he always maintained the utmost respect for a worthy adversary and found genuine joy in sparring with people. I was lucky enough to have had him in my corner for 14 years and to have called him a close friend for even longer. He was truly irreplaceable and will be missed by all of us at the Red Sox.'
