Yawkey, long Red Sox owner, dies at 73
Thomas A. Yawkey, longtime Boston Red Sox owner since 1933, died in his sleep at New England Baptist Hospital at age 73 after a battle with leukemia. General Manager Dick O Connell informed players before a game with the Minnesota Twins. Yawkey renovated Fenway Park, built a farm system, and steered the team to pennants in 1946 and the famous 1967 Impossible Dream, though a World Series title eluded him.
