Player Biography
Thomas Austin Yawkey purchased the struggling Boston Red Sox in 1933 and dedicated the next 44 years to building a model franchise, capturing American League pennants in 1946, 1967 and 1975. A popular leader in Boston, Yawkey was a generous man, beloved by his players and the fans, and was a leader among big league owners. Ted Williams once said, “(Yawkey) had a heart as big as a watermelon. I loved the man from the bottom of my heart. He was unselfish, fair, sincere and honest.” Yawkey himself once said, “I was always taught to help others; that those of us fortunate enough to be born with material abundance should do what we can for those who are not. I do what I can.”
