RIP Larry Lucchino. He was a super controversial figure, but a lot of impactful people are. Fenway was a legit dump in the '90s, and the Sox, obviously, never quite fulfilled the potential being here brought them. And all that changed quickly when he was team president.
Larry Lucchino's contributions to baseball extended far beyond his influence on ballparks, which transformed the sport. He mentored Theo Epstein. He helped spur three World Series titles in Boston. He was a visionary, writes @Ken_Rosenthal. 🔗 https://t.co/do3UEkoe9U
When Larry Lucchino came to Boston, AP San Diego ballscribe @berniewilson warned me that Lucchino could be irascible but he respects you more if you push back. That describes him as well as anything. (A short 🧵)
In 2004 Red Sox Larry Lucchino told me: ‘We know the Yankees are going to redouble their efforts to come after us but that inspires us more than it intimidates us. Our goal was not just to win a World Series championship, our goal was to win World Series Championships.’ RIP Larry

RIP Larry Lucchino. Longtime baseball executive, Squirrel Hill native & Allderdice graduate. Accomplished so much. Only known person with World Series (Orioles, Red Sox) & Super Bowl (Redskins) rings, as well as a Final Four (Princeton) watch.
When I left home (Toronto) to work in Boston in 2004, I didn’t know a soul. Outside of my new NESN colleagues, Larry Lucchino was always so welcoming and thoughtful, often going out of his way to check in on how I was doing. Will never forget his kindness. #RIP #RedSox

Rest In peace, Larry Lucchino. The championship days of the Boston Red Sox simply do not happen without that man. Fenway Park is a much better place today than how he found it because of his desire to enhance the fan experience. He succeeded in every way.
Larry Lucchino's passing is heartbreaking for so many. He changed sports with Janet Marie Smith Camden Yards. He saved Fenway and the Fens, and brought Theo Epstein with him. Look what he's done for Worcester. Brilliant, emotional.
