BOSTON — Red Sox Nation is in mourning after the passing of former team president and CEO Larry Lucchino, who died Tuesday at the age of 78.
As part of the ownership group that bought the Red Sox in 2002 along with John Henry and Tom Werner, Lucchino was an instrumental figure in the franchise ending its World Series drought in 2004. Lucchino’s leadership and baseball expertise not only helped the ownership group revamp Fenway Park, but two more titles followed in 2007 and 2013.
