THE PASSING OF A GOOD GUY

THE PASSING OF A GOOD GUY

FRANK MALZONE, 1930-2015
When word of Frank Malzone’s passing on December 29, 2015 began to spread, a popular
sentiment expressed by many as they reflected on his life was that he was “a good guy.”
Fittingly inducted into the first class of Red Sox Hall of Famers in 1995, “Malzie” spent 68 of
his 85 years as a loyal member of the Red Sox organization in various capacities, including
six All-Star seasons in his 11-year career with the Red Sox from 1955-65. Among the best
of his era on offense and defense, the native of Bronx, NY soon became a Fenway favorite
and was selected as the top third baseman on the Red Sox All-Time Team in 1969, as voted
by the fans. He served as a mentor to many up-and-coming players who today credit their
careers to the sage advice of this Red Sox legend. An exceptional teammate and a devoted
family man, this good guy will be greatly missed.

 “You Can Never Rest”
Organization
Red Sox

As Principal Owner John W. Henry and Chairman Tom Werner

begin their 15th season as stewards of the Red Sox franchise,
the accomplishments are self-evident: the franchise has won
three World Series titles, the first of which ended a champi-
onship drought of 86 years; Fenway Park has been saved and
restored with unimagined improvements that blend modern
amenities with the history and tradition that has made the
ballpark one of the crown jewel sports venues in the world;
and the Red Sox Foundation now plays a central role in the
community, distributing more than $83 million to charities
and programs across New England since 2002.
The “new day” that Henry proclaimed when he, Tom Wer-
ner, and their partners purchased the Red Sox on December
20, 2001, ending the 69-year stewardship of Tom and Jean
Yawkey and their trustees, did indeed come to pass.
But complacency has no place on Yawkey Way.
“You can never rest,’’ Henry said in an interview last spring.
“You have to continually adapt to change.” And, he add-
ed with a figurative wink, “It wouldn’t be fun to sit back,
anyway.”
Heading into the 2016 season, change is indeed reverberat-
ing through the ancient ballpark.
After an historic 14-year run that took the franchise to new heights of success on and off the field, President/CEO Larry
Lucchino transitioned to President/CEO Emeritus and handed off his daily operating responsibilities to his protégé, Sam
Kennedy. Kennedy, the Brookline native who grew up a short “T” ride away from Fenway Park, has played a pivotal
role in the dramatic growth of the Red Sox brand since his arrival in 2002.
Henry and Werner also hired veteran baseball executive David Dombrowski, the architect of perennial winners in
Montreal, Florida and Detroit, for the newly created position, President of Baseball Operations.
Guided by the fundamental principles that have served the franchise well for over a decade, Kennedy led the new
Red Sox management team in articulating its own vision of the future, pledging the organization’s commitment to
the following:

Commitment No. 1: Playing October Baseball Each Season, With the Ultimate Goal of
Winning World Series Championships
In the first 14 seasons under current ownership, the Red Sox have compiled a .550 winning percentage, which ranks
fourth overall in Major League Baseball. The Red Sox have won three World Series in that time, a feat equaled by one
other team, the San Francisco Giants. The organization has reached postseason play seven times, a total eclipsed by
only the Yankees (10) and Cardinals (9) and have enjoyed two separate three-year streaks of qualifying for the playoffs,
after never before advancing to the postseason in three straight seasons.
The bands of consistent success paved the way for three majestic World Series runs. The first, in 2004, came in the wake
of a crushing Game 7 defeat in the 2003 American League Championship Series against the New York Yankees, one
that was eclipsed in drama by the unprecedented comeback staged by the Red Sox against the Yankees in the 2004
ALCS. When the last out was recorded in Yankee Stadium on October 20, 2004, the Red Sox became the first team in
baseball history to win a seven-game postseason series after losing the first three games. The unbridled momentum of
the ALCS carried through to St. Louis, where the Sox completed a four-game sweep, helping to salve Game 7 losses to
the Cardinals in both the 1967 and 1946 World Series.
In 2007, the Red Sox gained sole possession of first place in the AL East on April 18 and never relinquished the
division’s top spot. The club continued its magical run with another stirring comeback in the ALCS, rallying from a

3-games-to-1 deficit to defeat the Cleveland Indians. The Sox then swept the Colorado Rockies for their second World
Series title in four years.
In 2013, with a new manager in John Farrell and the signings of seven free agents in the offseason, a team that
came to be known as a band of bearded brothers provided a needed emotional lift to a city devastated by the Boston
Marathon bombing. To the rallying cry of “Boston Strong,” the Red Sox defeated the Detroit Tigers in a thrilling, six-
game ALCS. After securing their 13th AL pennant, the Red Sox disposed of the Cardinals in the World Series, also in six
games, winning the decisive game at Fenway Park for the first time in 95 years.
The commitment to winning has never been stronger. The hiring of Dombrowski in August 2015 allowed the Red Sox to
get a head start for the 2016 season. With intense focus and precise execution, Dombrowski articulated a clear vision
of what the organization needed to accomplish heading into 2016. At the top of the wish list was a front end of the
rotation starter and the back end reliever. Dombrowksi, along with General Manager Mike Hazen and the baseball
operations department, targeted and landed two of the best pitchers in the game in ace David Price and closer Craig
Kimbrel. These pivotal additions complement a core of homegrown young players such as Mookie Betts, Xander Bo-
gaerts, and Eduardo Rodriguez. With David Ortiz announcing that this season will be his last as a major league player,
the Red Sox are relentlessly focused on returning to hardball glory.

ballpark and over three times taller than the fabled Green Monster.

Commitment No. 3: Taking the Fenway Park Experience to the Highest Levels of Service,
Warmth, and Hospitality for the Purpose of Creating Lasting Memories for All Who Visit
It is not enough for the Red Sox to have a winning team playing in a historic ballpark; every employee of the
Red Sox is challenged to create an experience that matches, or exceeds, the expectations of every fan who walks
through the gates of Fenway Park.
With instruction that we are in the “yes business,” the motto heard most around the halls of 4 Yawkey Way is, “it
can be done.”
To help bring that motto to life, on September 5, 2002, the club created the Fenway Ambassadors, a good-will
troupe whose mandate is to delight, inform, and care for fans young and old. From the simple task of giving direc-
tions, to surprising a child with a game ball who missed catching their own, the Fenway Ambassadors work to fulfill
the club’s mission to apply a personal touch and create memorable experiences for all who visit.
Since 2002, the club has put a special emphasis on making all fans feel welcome at the ballpark. “Friendly Fenway”
has been manifested through fan appreciation gestures each September when fans are greeted by players at the

New improvements and amenities have sought to provide fans

enhanced WiFi and cellular networks, a new space created just

But they did not expect the emotional moment when Jane Richard led her church’s children’s choir in the National
Anthem, two years after losing her leg – and her brother Martin – in the Marathon tragedy.
Neither did they anticipate the final moment of the ceremonies, traditionally when someone says “Play Ball!” On
this day, the club gave that honor to Pete Frates, the Boston College baseball star whose battle with ALS led him to
help create the phenomenal “Ice-Bucket Challenge.” What’s more, then-General Manager Ben Cherington came
out on the field and signed Frates to an authentic Red Sox baseball contract.
During the summer, the club presented a two-day tribute to new Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez. One day in English,
one day in Spanish, both touching tributes to the extraordinary pitcher and extraordinary man.
From the first Father’s Day Catch in 2002, through unifying convocations, to the celebration of careers, the Red Sox
have turned Fenway Park into a place of warm, lasting memories – a place where dreams come true.

Commitment No. 4: Impacting the Lives of New Englanders through Our Community
and Charitable Endeavors
The Red Sox, recognizing the place of prominence they have been given in the lives of so many New Englanders,
have embraced their mission to positively impact the community that holds them so dear.
Immediately after completing the purchase of the club on February 27, 2002, the owners established the Red Sox
Foundation, and committed to the Massachusetts Attorney General that they would infuse the foundation with at
least $20 million over the next 10 years.
As it celebrates its 15th year, the Red Sox Foundation has
not only met that expectation but exceeded it with well
over $83 million to support organizations, and the oper-
ation of its own award-winning programs. In 2010, it re-
ceived Major League Baseball’s first-ever Commissioner’s
Award for Philanthropic Excellence for its Red Sox Scholars
program, which provides college scholarships and care for
academically-talented, financially-challenged middle school
students.
It also received the 2009 Steve Patterson Award for Excel-
lence in Sports Philanthropy from the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation and The Sports Philanthropy Project.
While the legendary relationship between the Red Sox and
the Jimmy Fund is set to celebrate its 63-year partnership in 2016, the club’s support has intensified with a variety
of initiatives. In 2002, the Red Sox established the Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon on WEEI and NESN. The annual fund-
raiser has generated more than $40 million for research, treatment, and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The
foundation also became a title sponsor of the Pan-Mass Challenge, the across-the-Commonwealth bike ride that
has raised a half-billion dollars, including a record $45 million in 2015. Patients visit the Red Sox at Spring Training,
on the road, and at Fenway, thanks to the generosity of WEEI’s John Dennis; philanthropists such as Art Kelly; and
Mike Gordon, President of Fenway Sports Group.
The relationship started anecdotally in 1947, when Ted Williams would visit patients on his way to the park. The Red
Sox adopted the Jimmy Fund as their official charity in 1953, to continue the tradition established by the Boston
Braves, who moved to Milwaukee. The 2013 season featured a year-long tribute that included the creation of the
Jimmy Fund Chorus. In 2014, a Jimmy Fund Gallery was dedicated, and the relationship was proclaimed in signage
on the outside of the building on Brookline Avenue.
In 2015, Brock Holt and Pablo Sandoval were Jimmy Fund co-captains, visiting the clinic and lending their support to
the cause. The entire team visited the Telethon set in August to take a photo with patients and show their support.
A signature effort made by the Red Sox is the Home Base Program, initiated by Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner and
the Red Sox Foundation after visits to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. In partnership with Massachusetts
General Hospital, the program has provided treatment for post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injuries to
more than 9,000 New England veterans and their families. The foundation has donated over $17.8 million to the
program, raising more than $13 million through its annual
Run to Home Base.
The club’s enhanced community relations outreach has set
records regarding appearances that foster player-fan inter-
action. Red Sox players on the 2015 team made a record
633 appearances arranged by the club, and former players
made 270 more. These gestures – 903 in-person interac-
tions – are in addition to many of the charitable efforts in
which players engage independently. Additionally, the Red
Sox donated items and experiences to help 4,515 New En-
gland non-profits raise funds for their causes. The Red Sox
Wives also consistently render services to the community
via events that have generated record amounts of food for
the hungry, funds to fight diseases, and awareness to help
prevent the abuse of women.

Among the initiatives undertaken in 2015, the Sox sponsored Ticket for Troops donations while also offering dis-
counted tickets for active-duty, retired, and veteran service members. The Red Sox Foundation created the IMPACT
Awards Program (Inspiring More Philanthropy Across Charities Together), which provides Red Sox fans in the five
New England states outside of Massachusetts with the opportunity to vote for their favorite local non-profits to
decide which organizations will be awarded grants.

Commitment No. 5: Developing and Nurturing the Next Generation of Red Sox Fans
Perhaps more than any other sport, “America’s Pastime” is a generational game. The future of the Red Sox fran-
chise is tied to its ability to make the club and the game of baseball exciting for the kids of today and the parents
of tomorrow. To that end, Red Sox ownership made growing the next generation of fans a central mission for the
entire organization.
In 2015, the Red Sox launched “Calling All Kids,” a series
of programs to develop young fans with three primary
goals: provide greater access to Red Sox games at Fenway
Park; enhance the entertainment and customer experience
for kids at the ballpark; and celebrate and strengthen the
game of baseball in the community.
To improve access for young fans, the Red Sox introduced
two new ticket programs: a $9 ticket for high school and
college students beginning in 2014, and for those 14 and
younger, a free ticket to a game as part of the free Kid Na-
tion membership. In 2014 alone, over 53,000 kids enrolled
in the program across each of the 50 states.
Perhaps the most visible symbol of the club’s commitment
to youth was the creation in 2014 of “Gate K (for Kids),”
a children-friendly entrance located adjacent to Gate B leading into the new Kids Concourse. In addition to the
gate, the right field area of the Big Concourse was revamped with games, entertainment, kids’ concessions, and
amenities, and “Wally’s Clubhouse” was formed to serve as an outlet for young fans and families who need a break
from the game. To help assist the parents and youngsters in this area, a “Kids Crew” was established, a group
of gameday employees dedicated to serving the needs of families in the Kids Concourse and Wally’s Clubhouse.
This winter, at the club’s second annual Baseball Winter Weekend, the Red Sox introduced Tessie, Wally the Green
Monster’s sister. Tessie will be at all games at Fenway Park to entertain kids and be a permanent member of the
Red Sox family.
To engage more children to play the game, the Red Sox have long been active in Major League Baseball’s RBI Pro-
gram. In 2002, the ownership group established an innovative program – the Boston Area Church League – with
Mayor Thomas M. Menino, sponsors, civic leaders, and longtime civil rights activist Frank Jordan. Children play
Saturday doubleheaders with pastors as coaches, police as umpires, and assistant district attorneys as volunteers.
All enjoy a game at Fenway Park in September. Over the past 13 years, the RBI program has grown to 31 RBI teams
(Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) and Rookie Leagues serving more than 1,200 children.
The commitment to Little League baseball continued in 2015 when the Red Sox Foundation sponsored over 130
Massachusetts Little League teams. The club teamed up with Mayor Walsh and the Highland Street Foundation for
the second year of “Out of the Park” which refurbished 10 baseball fields in the City of Boston, including putting
up two mini Green Monsters at Orchard Park in Roxbury and Hardiman Park in Brighton.
For the Red Sox, the inaugural “Calling All Kids” campaign was just the beginning. After all, when it comes to kids,
you can never rest.

 Red Sox in the Community
Organization
Red Sox

Led by the generosity of the Red Sox ownership group, the Red Sox Foundation has committed more than $83
million in charitable activity since its creation in 2002.
The Red Sox and its charitable foundation are active throughout New England as well as in Lee County, Florida,
the team’s spring training home, with a focus on the areas of health, education, youth sports, veterans, and social
services. The foundation has a number of major cornerstone programs and also provides smaller grants and other
support to hundreds of other non-profits each year.
These efforts have made the Red Sox the most charitable organization in Major League Baseball and the most
charitable sports franchise in New England.

The Personal Touch

Touching Lives, Face to Face
The team’s commitment to the community was stronger than ever in 2015 – a joint effort of the team’s community
relations department and the Red Sox Foundation.
Red Sox players, coaches and manager John Farrell made a record 633 appearances arranged by the club, and
former players made 270 more. These gestures – 903 in-person interactions – are in addition to many of the chari-
table efforts in which players engage independently. The community relations department helped 4,515 accredited
non-profits raise funds and raise awareness of their worthy causes, often by donating signed items used by these
organizations to raise money.
Make-A-Wish children battling cancer and other life-threaten-
ing illnesses experienced far-fetched dreams come true as they
stepped on the field, sat in the dugout, and met the players they
had only admired from afar.
Tim Wakefield, the Red Sox Foundation Honorary Chairman, who
will be inducted into the club’s Hall of Fame this summer, par-
ticipated in numerous foundation activities throughout the year,
including his second annual golf tournament to benefit the Red
Sox Foundation.
In addition, the Red Sox Foundation’s IMPACT Awards Program
(Inspiring More Philanthropy Across Charities Together) provides
Red Sox fans in the five New England states outside of Massachu-
setts with the opportunity to vote for their favorite local non-prof-
its to decide which organizations will be awarded grants.
In spring training in Fort Myers, FL, players participated in the Children’s Hospital golf tournament, signed auto-
graphs at the Open House at JetBlue Park, attended the Lee County Boys & Girls Club Dinner, and the Diamond Din-
ner benefitting the Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida. Players also participated in service days, visiting food
banks, participating in a goodwill collection at JetBlue Park, and interacting with children from the L.I.F.E. Academy.
The team held its first “Girls of Summer” event where women learned fundamentals of the game from Red Sox
coaches, got their photos taken with Red Sox players, and were addressed by members of the front office.
Dustin Pedroia, Pablo Sandoval, and David Ortiz among others, all had ticket programs and purchased tickets for
various groups to attend games at Fenway Park.
The entire Red Sox team again participated in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge with former Boston College captain Pete
Frates. Players also auctioned off the opportunity for fans to have a bucket dumped over their heads by a player.
During the holiday caravan, players visited Boston Children’s Hospital, the Jimmy Fund Clinic, Beth Israel Deaconess
Medical Center, Shriner’s Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital for Children, Boston Medical Center and The BASE.

The Red Sox and the Jimmy Fund

Teammates for Life
No cause is more deeply rooted in the fiber of the Red Sox than the fight
against cancer. It was that way when Ted Williams would visit the young pa-
tients of legendary doctor Sidney Farber on his way to Fenway Park in the
1940’s, it is that way today, and it will remain that way until cancer has been
vanquished.
The enduring partnership between the Red Sox and the Jimmy Fund, which
officially started in 1953, included last season the annual spring training visit
by a host of Jimmy Fund kids, and more than $3.35 million raised during Au-
gust’s 14th Annual Red Sox Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon on WEEI and NESN,
bringing the total raised to over $40 million since the telethon’s inception.
The entire Red Sox team visited the set to take photos with patients and show
their support. Over the years, the Red Sox have helped the Jimmy Fund raise
more than $127 million for cancer treatment and research.
Brock Holt, who started games at seven different positions for the Red Sox
for the second straight season in 2015, came through at another position for

the Red Sox last season. The team’s indispensable utility man served, with third baseman Pablo Sandoval, as the
team’s Jimmy Fund co-captains. They visited the clinic and lent their support to the cause. For his efforts, Holt was
the team’s 2015 nominee for Major League Baseball’s Roberto Clemente award for humanitarian service.

Fighting the Battles That Matter on the Home Front

When the Red Sox went to Washington, D.C., in the aftermath of their World Series victories in 2004, 2007, and
2013, they did so at the invitation of the White House, Presidents Bush and Obama paying tribute to their success.
The Sox appreciated the honor, but the trips to the nation’s capital would take on a deeper and more lasting mean-
ing, one inspired by their visits after each ceremony to the military personnel recovering from their wounds in the
Walter Reed Army Medical Center and associated hospitals.
The Red Sox, to a man, were profoundly affected by the courageous men and women they met, and Chairman Tom
Werner was moved to find a way that the ball club could make a positive impact on the lives of those who had given
so much in service to their country. His vision, as Chairman of the Red Sox Foundation, inspired the club to partner
with Massachusetts General Hospital to create the Home Base Program.
Along with the team’s decades-long commitment to the Jimmy Fund, it has become a cornerstone of the team’s
community outreach, one that has provided an extraordinary support system to wounded veterans and their fam-
ilies.
The Home Base Program is the first partnership of its kind in the nation between an academic medical center and
a Major League Baseball team. As a National Center of Excellence, Home Base operates the largest private-sector
clinic in the nation devoted to healing invisible wounds such as post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain
injury. Since its inception, Home Base has served more than 9,000 veterans and family members with care and
support, trained more than 25,000 clinicians, educators, and community members nationally, and remains at the
forefront of discovering new treatments that offer great hope to our servicemen and women. Home Base launched
a “first in the nation” two-week intensive clinical program for veterans that extends the reach of this program to
any post-9/11 veteran in the United States. Over time it has expanded its clinical staff of doctors, psychologists,
nurses, physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists and licensed clinical social workers to ensure that it main-
tains the world-class, evidence-based care for which it has become known.
The Red Sox Foundation to date has committed $17.8 million to the program, raising more than $13 million through
its annual Run to Home Base. After attending a ceremony last December honoring Massachusetts Fallen Heroes,
Governor Charlie Baker told Red Sox President Sam Kennedy that he values the team’s work with the Home Base
program as much, if not more than, any of its other endeavors. With so many of our men and women still in harm’s
way, the Home Base Program remains as vital as ever.

Education for Life

The Red Sox Scholars Program, presented by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, enhances the lives of Boston
middle schoolers, who receive college scholarships of $10,000, as well as mentoring and enrichment opportunities.
The program, created in 2003, received MLB’s first-ever “Commissioner’s Award for Philanthropic Excellence” in
2010. Since its inception, 250 academically talented, financially challenged Boston students have stepped onto
the field at Fenway Park and felt the cheers of encouragement that we hope they will enjoy throughout their lives.
Beyond Boston, the Red Sox Foundation’s New England Service Scholarship program provides college scholarships
of $1,000 to nearly 120 graduating seniors in each of the other five New England states. The funding comes in part
from unique Red Sox Foundation license plates in Connecticut and Rhode Island.

Youth Baseball Programs

Play Ball for Life
RBI: On diamonds throughout Boston, more than 2,000 boys and girls aged 5 to 18 played baseball and softball in
the Red Sox Foundation’s RBI League. Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities, teaches baseball, sportsmanship, teamwork,
and tolerance.
BOSTON AREA CHURCH LEAGUE: For the 14th straight year, the Red Sox helped nurture the Boston Area Church

Saturday double headers with pastors as coaches, police as umpires, and assistant district attorneys as volunteers.
Several hundred children then enjoy a Red Sox game at Fenway Park, and relationships born on the ballfield trans-

RED SOX CHILDREN’S RETREATS: For the 13th straight year, the Red Sox helped operate Red Sox Children’s
Retreats at the Ron Burton Training Village in Hubbardston, Massachusetts. In a partnership announced December
13, 2002, shortly before the Boston Patriots’ ailing football star passed away, his son and namesake, a longtime
member of the Red Sox, brings children from neighborhoods long on asphalt and short on grass to weekends at
the verdant camp created by this remarkable sports family. The children use the lure of sports to learn harmony, life
skills, love, and fellowship.
LINDOS SUEÑOS: For the 12th straight year, the Red Sox also operated their Lindos Sueños Program, in which
Boston-area teens travel to the Dominican Republic to play baseball and engage in community service projects with
their teenage counterparts from the island. More than 100 Boston-area teens have participated. It is a remarkable
experience to see how quickly socioeconomic backgrounds and different languages give way to unity through the
language and heart of baseball.
US-JAPAN YOUTH BASEBALL EXCHANGE: The Red Sox Foundation hosted 12 Japanese children from Kyoto
and Chiba for a 9-day visit, July 27-August 4. The 7th annual youth cultural exchange program is presented by Funai
Electric. The children participated in baseball clinics at Harvard and Northeastern Universities, and were honored on
the field at Fenway Park on August 2.
ALL KIDS CAN: Hitting coaches Chili Davis and Victor Rodriguez taught baseball skills to physically challenged
children at the “All Kids Can” clinics, sponsored by CVS.
MASSACHUSETTS LITTLE LEAGUE: For the second straight year, the Red Sox Foundation sponsored Little
League teams throughout Massachusetts, providing support so that boys and girls can play ball and learn import-
ant life lessons. The initiative is presented by the Massachusetts Health Connector and supported by HP Hood and
Skeeter Snacks.

Fenway Park
Major League Baseball’s oldest and smallest ballpark, Fenway Park has been the home of the Boston
Red Sox since April 20, 1912 when, after two days of rainouts, the park hosted its first regular season
game, an 11-inning, 7-6 Boston win over the New York Highlanders in front of 27,000 fans.

In 104 seasons, venerable Fenway Park has been home to many of the greatest players in baseball
history, including Hall of Famers Babe Ruth, Tris Speaker, Lefty Grove, Jimmie Foxx, Joe Cronin, Ted
Williams, Bobby Doerr, Carl Yastrzemski, Carlton Fisk, and Jim Rice. The park has witnessed some of the
most memorable moments in baseball history, highlighted, perhaps, by Fisk’s 12th-inning home run to
win Game 6 of the 1975 World Series, and the amazing comeback against the Yankees in Game 4 of
the 2004 American League Championship Series.

Among the world’s most famous sporting venues, Fenway Park is best known for the 37-foot high,
231-foot long “Green Monster” left-field wall, which looms only 310 feet from home plate. Equally
enticing to hitters is “Pesky’s Pole,” the right-field foul pole named for Red Sox great Johnny Pesky,
which stands only 302 feet from home plate.

Nestled into the Fenway Park neighborhood of Boston, the park was largely rebuilt for the 1934 season
after a five-alarm fire destroyed construction underway by new owner Tom Yawkey. Fenway Park has
undergone a series of improvements since the Henry-Werner Group purchased the team in 2002.

The astounding popularity of the ballpark and the team enabled the Red Sox to sell out 793 consecutive
games from 2003-13, the longest recorded regular-season sellout streak in U.S. professional sports
history. Hundreds of thousands of fans from all over the globe visit Fenway Park year-round. Tours of
the ballpark, conducted in English, Spanish, and Japanese, are available daily.

The following pages provide a detailed timeline of Fenway Park since 1912.

 Red Sox Ownership
Organization
Red Sox

John W. Henry, Principal Owner

John W. Henry is beginning his 15th season as Principal Owner of the Boston Red Sox, but
in one way his relationship to baseball has changed little since he was growing up in rural
Arkansas, listening to games broadcast on a Zenith short-wave radio. “I certainly identify
with the fans,” he said, “because I’ve been one my entire life.” And from December 20,
2001, the day an investment group led by Mr. Henry and Tom Werner bought the Red Sox,
he understood the mandate he had inherited.
“Win a World Series? That’s not my choice, it’s my role, it’s my obligation to New En-
gland,” Mr. Henry said. “That’s what I’ve been charged with. When you bid on the Red
Sox, the challenge you’re undertaking is nothing short of winning the World Series.”
Three World Series titles in a 10-season span – 2004, 2007, and 2013 – have earned the Henry-Werner ownership
team a special place in Red Sox history, the franchise having endured an 86-year stretch, beginning in 1918, in
which it did not win baseball’s ultimate prize. But the quest continues, the team’s success only reinforcing Mr.
Henry’s determination that the Red Sox remain a perennial contender, with the goal of playing meaningful games
in October.
In one sense, Mr. Henry says, he is owner by proxy. The true owners, he asserts, are Red Sox fans, those in New
England and spread across the country and globally in numbers deserving of the designation, “Red Sox Nation.” He
sees his role as being a steward of this much-loved baseball team, which entails providing a championship-caliber
product on the field while also serving as an involved and committed member of the community.
By any measure, the Red Sox have succeeded on both fronts. The club’s winning percentage of .550 ranks third in
the American League since the start of the 2002 season, and the Sox have advanced to the postseason seven times
in that span. That includes what many regard as the most improbable comeback in professional sports, when the
Red Sox lost the first three games of the American League Championship Series in 2004 to the New York Yankees,
then won the next four games, becoming the first major league team ever to win a series after trailing, three games
to none.
Immediately after taking ownership, Mr. Henry and his partners also founded – and funded – the Red Sox Founda-
tion, which has become the largest and one of the fastest-growing team charities in Major League Baseball. Though
a relative newcomer to the New England philanthropic community, it has won numerous awards for its imaginative
outreach and impact, including the 2009 national award for “Best Sports Charity” from the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation and the Sports Philanthropy Project. In 2010 it was recognized by Major League Baseball with the
inaugural “Commissioner’s Award for Philanthropic Excellence” for the Red Sox Scholars program, the foundation’s
educational cornerstone. Supported through generous donations from Mr. Henry and Mr. Werner and their partners,
as well as corporate sponsors and fans attending fund-raising events, the Red Sox Foundation has made a signif-
icant impact on the lives of those it serves. To date, it has committed more than $83 million to health, education,
recreation, military, and social service programs primarily benefitting at-risk children and families.
The operation of the club always has been, and will continue to be, a collaborative effort, Mr. Henry maintains.
He cites the close relationships he enjoys with Werner, the team’s chairman; Larry Lucchino, who was the team’s
president and CEO for the first 14 seasons; and the team’s two newest top executives: Sam Kennedy, who has
succeeded Lucchino as club president, and David Dombrowski, who was appointed the President of Baseball Op-
erations last August.
“Tom Werner and I are like brothers,” Mr. Henry says. “We talk every day about ideas on how to improve everything
from the New England Sports Network to the length of the grass on the field.”
With Lucchino, whom Mr. Henry described as “my role model when it comes to baseball executives,” moving into
an emeritus role, Kennedy became president on October 16.
“Since 2012, we have known that it would be a natural transition for Sam to succeed Larry when he was ready to
relinquish the reins,” Mr. Henry said. “Tom and I feel fortunate that there is an obvious and strong successor within
our organization.”
With Dombrowski’s appointment last August 18, Mr. Henry renewed a relationship that has its roots in Florida,
where Dombrowski served as general manager when Mr. Henry owned the Florida Marlins.
“I have known Dave very well for a long time,” Mr. Henry said. “Tom and I have no doubts that Dave is the right
person to strengthen our baseball operations group going forward.”
Mr. Henry has garnered a wealth of experience – and multiple championship rings – at three different levels in his
28 years in baseball at an ownership level. Prior to purchasing the Red Sox, he was chairman and sole owner of the
Marlins. He also was a limited partner of the New York Yankees, and chairman and majority owner of the Tucson
Toros of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League. Mr. Henry also formed a co-ownership with Boca Raton, FL attorney Don
Sider in the West Palm Beach Tropics of the Senior Professional Baseball League. The Tropics, managed by former
Red Sox manager Dick Williams, posted a league-best 52-20 record in his one-year ownership, led by Hall of Famer
Rollie Fingers and All-Stars Toby Harrah, Dave Kingman, Mickey Rivers, and Al Hrabosky.
A pioneering trader of commodities futures, for more than 34 years Mr. Henry has served as chairman of John W.
Henry & Company, Inc., which he founded in 1981. He has served on the Board of Directors of the Future Industry
Association, National Association of Futures Trading Advisors and the Managed Futures Trade Association. He was
elected to the Futures Industry Association’s Hall of Fame as a recognized leader in alternative asset financial
product innovation.

as they can. If they don’t, I want to know why and see what I can do to address their concerns immediately. It is the
New England fans and their representative media that have created the romance, mystique, and passion that we all
feel when the words ‘Boston Red Sox’ are spoken.”

Thomas C. Werner, Chairman

Red Sox chairman Tom Werner, who has been involved in Major League Baseball for more
than 25 years and whose love for the Red Sox spans nearly five decades, has played a vital
role in the team’s success on the field, the saving and renovating of Fenway Park, and its
difference-making impact in the community. The respect Werner has engendered among
his fellow owners was reflected in 2015, when he was nominated to be Commissioner of
Baseball, his ideas for growing the game widely praised.
A highly successful television executive, Werner entered baseball as leader of the owner-
ship group that purchased the San Diego Padres in 1990, and served as majority owner
until December 22, 1994. Werner subsequently joined forces with Principal Owner John
W. Henry and President/CEO Larry Lucchino to acquire the Red Sox, the only bidders that made saving Fenway Park
a cornerstone of their proposal. Together, they and their partners won the right to buy the team on December 20,
2001 and completed the purchase on February 27, 2002. Three years later, after substantial improvements to the
ballpark, Werner, Henry and Lucchino on March 23, 2005 pledged their long-term commitment to Fenway Park,
inspiring major investment in the surrounding neighborhood and sparking a remarkable transformation. Because
of their vision, Fenway Park in 2012 became the first ballpark to celebrate its 100th anniversary, and with nearly
$300 million in renovations, its viability as “America’s Most Beloved Ballpark” has been assured for years to come.
On October 30, 2013, the Red Sox won their third World Series title since Werner became chairman, the first in 95
years in which the clinching game was played at Fenway Park.
The team’s on-field success has been accompanied by its determination to play a meaningful role in the community.
Werner was instrumental in establishing and overseeing the Red Sox Foundation, which to date has committed
more than $83 million to benefit the people of New England and is recognized as a model program for charitable
organizations. A particular point of pride is the Home Base Program. Inspired by the team’s visits to Walter Reed
Medical Center as an adjunct to their World Series ceremonies in the White House, Werner helped create Home
Base, which is a partnership between the Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital. The Home Base
Program heals the less-visible wounds of war by connecting Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and their families to
world-class care. Home Base has provided care and support for over 1,000 veterans, trained over 10,000 clinicians,
and conducts research to treat, diagnose, and prevent post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuries.
Because of his leadership with the foundation and the Home Base Program, Werner was honored with the United
States Army’s Outstanding Civilian Service Award on October 30, 2014.
The Red Sox Foundation also is a major benefactor of the Jimmy Fund, whose legendary partnership with the Red
Sox celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2013. Under the current ownership group, the club created the annual Red
Sox/Jimmy Fund radio telethon on WEEI and NESN, which has raised over $40.5 million since its inception, and
launched title sponsorship of the Pan-Mass Challenge.
Like so many Red Sox fans of his generation, Werner’s infatuation with the Red Sox began in 1967, when as a fresh-
man at Harvard, the New York native was caught up in the team’s “Impossible Dream” journey to the World Series.
He fell hard, both for the Red Sox, and Fenway Park. For his Visual Studies class at Harvard, he created a documen-
tary about Fenway, a project that presaged a phenomenally successful career that has included his enshrinement in
the Television Academy Hall of Fame. Embodying the values of integrity and quality, Werner and his partner, Marcy
Carsey, have helped create such popular series as “The Cosby Show,” “A Different World,” “Roseanne,” “Third
Rock From the Sun,” “Cybill,” “Grace Under Fire,” and “That ‘70s Show.” The Carsey-Werner partnership is widely
regarded as the most successful independent television production company in the history of the medium. Before
starting Carsey-Werner, which is credited with almost 2,000 hours of quality television, the duo worked for ABC
television when they discovered Robin Williams in a comedy club and launched his career in “Mork and Mindy.”
They also provided opportunities to such talents as Tom Hanks (“Bosom Buddies”), Billy Crystal (“Soap”), Danny
Devito, and Tony Danza (both in “Taxi”). Werner currently is producing “Survivors Remorse,” the critically acclaimed
hit airing on the Starz network, a venture in which he has partnered with NBA superstar LeBron James.
In addition to his membership in the Television Academy Hall of Fame, Werner (born April 12, 1950) received the
Lifetime Achievement Award from the Producers Guild of America. His company has earned 24 Emmy Awards, 11
People’s Choice Awards, and numerous Golden Globes, Humanitas Prizes, and Peabody Awards. In 2000, Werner,
Carsey, and their partner Caryn Mandabach joined forces with Geraldine Laybourne and Oprah Winfrey to start
Oxygen, a 24-hour cable channel serving the modern woman. Acquired by NBC in late 2007, Oxygen is one of the
fastest-growing cable networks ever, now in almost 65 million homes. Since 2001, when Werner and his partners
purchased the Red Sox, Fenway Park, and 80% of the New England Sports Network, NESN has become a highly
acclaimed model for regional sports networks throughout the country, the first to broadcast major league baseball
games in high definition. Werner has long immersed himself in the work of Major League Baseball, serving as a
member of the Executive Council, and was a leader in the establishment of the Wild Card, of which the 2004 club
was an historic beneficiary. Werner also presently serves on Major League Baseball’s Business and Media Board and
the Competition Committee Board. In January, 2013, for his leadership and dedication to the game, Werner received
the Dave Winfield Humanitarian Award from the Professional Baseball Scouts Foundation at the organization’s an-
nual “In the Spirit of the Game” Sports and Entertainment Spectacular. Werner spends much of the year in Boston,
where he has a residence. He has served on many boards, including the White House Fellows Commission and the
Ron Brown Scholar Program. He currently serves on the Crossroads School Board and the Board for After School All
Stars, a program helping more than 92,000 at-risk youth engage in after school activities.

Sam Kennedy, President

Sam Kennedy became President of the Boston Red Sox on October 16, 2015, succeeding
President/CEO emeritus Larry Lucchino. As President, Kennedy has oversight over the club
and its operations. In addition to his Red Sox role, Kennedy is also President of Fenway
Sports Management (FSM).
A native of Brookline, MA who grew up within walking distance of Fenway Park, Kennedy,
42, joined the Red Sox as Vice President of Corporate Partnerships in 2002. He was among
the first wave of executives the current ownership group brought to Boston from the San
Diego Padres, where Kennedy had worked the previous six years. Kennedy immediately
distinguished himself, playing a key role in the revitalization of the Red Sox brand and
the dramatic growth of the team’s financial base through the creation of new revenue streams. Kennedy was also
intimately involved in the preservation and transformation of Fenway Park and the transformation of the ballpark
experience.
Prior to assuming the role of club President, Kennedy served as Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer
from September 2009 to October 2015. While in that post, he oversaw the team’s general business matters in-
cluding ticketing (sales, operations and service), corporate sponsorship, broadcasting, marketing, social media,
advertising, Fenway Enterprises (non-baseball activities at Fenway Park), and all client services.
One of Kennedy’s proudest accomplishments is the wide range of fans that have experienced Fenway Park’s unique
charm due to the expansion of entertainment offerings at the ballpark including concerts, ice hockey games, and
soccer matches featuring the iconic Liverpool Football Club. The 2015 Winter Season at Fenway Park epitomized the
possibilities for the 104 year old ballpark. The “off-season” started in November when Fenway Park played host to
the “Shamrock Series,” a college football game between the University of Notre Dame and Boston College and cul-
minated in February with “Big Air,” a ski and snowboarding spectacle featuring a 140-foot ramp that loomed high
above the ballpark’s light towers. In between those events, the Winter Season featured four traditional Thanksgiv-
ing High School Football games and brought the Irish sport of hurling to Fenway for the first time in over 60 years.
In 2004, Kennedy helped create Fenway Sports Management, formerly Fenway Sports Group, which has emerged
as one of the most well respected international sports sales and representation agencies in its 11-year history. FSM
is one of the portfolio of companies owned by Fenway Sports Group, which includes the Boston Red Sox, Liverpool
Football Club (LFC), an 80% stake in the New England Sports Network (NESN) and 50% of Roush Fenway Racing
(RFR). As FSM’s President, Kennedy oversees all aspects of the operations featuring a client roster that includes the
Red Sox, LFC, NESN, RFR, Boston College, Major League Baseball Advanced Media, the Deutsche Bank Champion-
ship, and NBA superstar LeBron James.
Kennedy, who was classmates at Brookline High School with former Red Sox General Manager and current Chicago
Cubs President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein, began his career in baseball in 1993, when he was an intern
in the ticket department of the New York Yankees. In 1996, he was hired by his mentor, Larry Lucchino, at the San
Diego Padres. As the Padres Executive Director/Corporate Partnerships and Broadcasting, he tripled sponsorship
revenues in a six-year span. Kennedy also played an integral role in securing financing and developing the sales and
marketing strategy for Petco Park, the Padres’ downtown ballpark.
In October 2007, Kennedy was named one of the Boston Business Journal’s 40 under 40 Award recipients, which
recognizes 40 of Boston’s best and brightest young professionals. In 2008, 2010, and 2013, Kennedy was selected
as one of Sports Business Journal’s Forty under 40 Award recipients and inducted into the publication’s Hall of
Fame. This national honor placed him in the company of the most influential and creative young professionals in
the business of sports.
A former captain of the baseball team at Brookline High and member of the ice hockey team, Kennedy graduated
from Trinity College (CT) in 1995. Kennedy currently serves on the board of the Wellesley Youth Hockey Association
and The Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce. Kennedy also has served as a volunteer hockey coach for the past
eight years.
Kennedy and his wife of 17 years, Amanda, reside in Wellesley, MA, with their 12-year-old son, Jimmy, and 11-year-
old daughter, Ally.

David Dombrowski, President of Baseball Operations
David Dombrowski was named as President of Baseball Operations for the Boston Red Sox
on August 18, 2015. In this role – newly created by the organization – he is responsible for
all baseball matters for the club.
A distinguished and experienced baseball executive, Dombrowski arrived in Boston with
nearly 40 years of service in Major League Baseball.
Most recently, he served as President, CEO & General Manager of the Detroit Tigers from
November 5, 2001 until August 4, 2015. During his tenure in Detroit, which spanned 14
seasons, his teams reached the Postseason five times: first as the American League Wild
Card winner in 2006, which snapped an 18-year playoff drought for the organization, and
again with a franchise-record four consecutive AL Central Division titles from 2011-14. Detroit captured the AL
pennant twice in that time frame, in 2006 and in 2012, with the former marking the team’s first trip to the World
Series since 1984. His 2013 club was eliminated by the Red Sox in a thrilling six-game league championship series.
Prior to his time with the Tigers, Dombrowski spent 10 years as General Manager for the Florida Marlins. His
tenure there began in September of 1991 when was hired as the franchise’s first-ever Executive Vice President
and General Manager. While at the helm in South Florida, Dombrowski constructed the Marlins team that won the
World Series title in 1997, just their fifth year of existence. Starting from their inaugural season in 1993 through
1997, the Marlins increased their winning percentage year over year, becoming the first-ever expansion team to do
so. It was in Miami that Dombrowski first worked with current Red Sox Principal Owner John Henry, who was the
Marlins Chairman and sole owner from January 1999 until February 2002. In 1998, the Marlins were honored by
USA Today as Organization of the Year.
Before landing with the Marlins, Dombrowski served the Montreal Expos for parts of five years (December
1986-September 1991) in a variety of front office roles including Director of the club’s minor league system, Assis-
tant General Manager, Vice President of Player Personnel, and General Manager. He was 32 years old at the time
of his appointment to General Manager prior to the 1990 season, the youngest chief baseball official in the major
leagues at the time. Following the 1990 season, he was recognized as the UPI Major League Executive of the Year,
and Baseball America acknowledged the Expos as Organization of the Year in both 1988 and 1990.
It was with the Chicago White Sox that Dombrowski received his first baseball experience in 1978 under the
tutelage of long-time baseball executive Roland Hemond. Dombrowski spent four seasons working in the minor
league and scouting department and in the player development department of the White Sox before being named
Assistant General Manager under Hemond in November 1981. He eventually was named Vice President of Baseball
Operations for the club in December of 1985.
In addition to his extensive accomplishments relating to on-field baseball performance, Dombrowski has also been
involved in areas off the field around the game. In April of 2013, former Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig named
him chairman of the Commissioner’s On-Field Diversity Task Force, which addresses the talent pipeline that impacts
the representation and development of diverse players and on-field personnel in Major League Baseball, particular-
ly African-Americans. While with the Tigers, also in 2013, he accepted the Commissioner’s Award for Philanthropic
Excellence on behalf of the club for their Anti-Bullying community program.
Throughout his career, Dombrowski has received numerous awards for his achievements in baseball. Among them
are the 2012 John Schuerholz Award given at that year’s General Managers meetings honoring 25 years of service
as a GM. He was a co-recipient of The Sporting News’ Executive of the Year Award with Milwaukee Brewers GM
Doug Melvin in 2011 and received the Andrew “Rube” Foster Award the same year presented by the Negro Leagues
Baseball Museum as AL Executive of the Year. He was named Executive of the Year in 2006 by Baseball America, and
Sports Executive of the Year at the 10th annual March of Dimes National Athletic Awards dinner in February 1998.
In January 2012, he was inducted into the Lou Boudreau Hall of Fame by the Pitch & Hit Club of Chicago.
A native of Chicago, IL, Dombrowski is a graduate of Richards High School in Oak Lawn, MI. He attended Cornell
University – where he played football – for one year, but later transferred to Western Michigan University where he
earned a degree in business administration in 1979. His alma mater recognized him with its Distinguished Alumni
Award in 1998.
Dombrowski and his wife, Karie, live in suburban Boston with their daughter, Darbi, and son, Landon.

Larry Lucchino, President/CEO Emeritus

Larry Lucchino served as Red Sox’ President/CEO during an historic 14-year period through
2015, in which the club won three World Series, saved and enhanced Fenway Park, estab-
lished the Major League Baseball record for consecutive sellouts, and created the Red Sox
Foundation, a philanthropic powerhouse. Now also Chairman of the Pawtucket Red Sox,
Lucchino and the late Jim Skeffington assembled a group that in 2015 purchased Boston’s
longtime Triple-A affiliate.
After serving as the President and CEO of the Baltimore Orioles (1988-93) and the Presi-
dent and CEO of the San Diego Padres (1995-01), Lucchino was instrumental in bringing
together Principal Owner John W. Henry, Chairman Tom Werner, and their partners, who
purchased the Red Sox, Fenway Park, and 80 percent of NESN in December, 2001. The purchase closed February
27, 2002.
Committing to “field a team worthy of the fans’ support,” the Red Sox in his tenure played October Baseball
seven times. Vanquishing the proverbial “Curse of the Bambino,” the 2004 club did what had never been done
before—overcoming a 3-0 deficit, against no less than the archrival New York Yankees, whom Lucchino dubbed
“the Evil Empire,”—to win the pennant and then sweep the St. Louis Cardinals to win the club’s first World Series
since 1918--after an agonizing 86-year wait. The World Champions of 2007 and 2013 also etched in stone this
historic era, with the latter club helping to heal a wounded city after the Boston Marathon bombings to embody
the strength and resilience that supported the new phrase, “Boston Strong.”
After revolutionizing ballpark ambiance and architecture by creating Oriole Park at Camden Yards, which fulfilled
his pioneering vision of a traditional, intimate, old-fashioned downtown ballpark with modern amenities, Lucchino
then spearheaded the political and design efforts that created Petco Park in San Diego. More than a ballpark, Petco
fulfilled its promise as a catalyst for redevelopment in downtown San Diego.
With the experience of Camden Yards and Petco Park, he was instrumental in conceiving and executing ten years of
major improvements to Fenway Park that preserved, protected, and enhanced “America’s Most Beloved Ballpark.”
Once again, a ballpark revitalized a now-vibrant neighborhood.
Each of the other groups that vied to buy the Red Sox in 2001 intended to abandon or demolish the ballpark.
With aggressive marketing throughout New England and the global fan base called “Red Sox Nation,” the club
connected with its fans, who sold out every game (820 straight) from May 15, 2003 through April 8, 2013. The club
set franchise attendance records in eight of his 14 seasons.
Lucchino has served on several MLB committees, including the Commissioner’s Blue Ribbon Task Force on Baseball
Economics and the International Committee, of which he is chairman.
Saying his franchises “had a foreign policy,” Lucchino arranged for his Padres to play baseball’s first regular season
games in Mexico (1996) and Hawaii (1997) and pioneered a ground-breaking relationship in Japan with the Chiba
Lotte Marines (1997). Returning to Mexico in 1999, he helped establish baseball’s first International Opener in
Monterrey. In 2008, he led the Red Sox’ first trip to Japan, where they opened the season. Lucchino was also an
early and active supporter of the World Baseball Classic.
Born in Pittsburgh, Lucchino was an All-City League basketball player and second baseman on the Pittsburgh city
championship baseball team. He graduated with honors from Princeton University and then graduated from Yale
Law School. At Princeton, he was a member of two Ivy League championship basketball teams. Lucchino holds
honorary degrees from Suffolk University, Boston University, Bryant University, New England School of Law, Anna
Maria College, Palomar College, the University of Massachusetts (Boston), and Bentley University.
In 1974, he joined Williams and Connolly, the law firm founded by his mentor, friend, legendary sportsman, and trial
attorney Edward Bennett Williams. He became a partner in 1978 and specialized in sports law and litigation. He was
general counsel to the Washington Redskins, of which Williams was president and part owner, and was a member
of their Board of Directors from 1979 to 1985. When EBW bought the Orioles on August 2, 1979, Lucchino became
vice president/general counsel. EBW named him president in May 1988, to rebuild the club’s baseball and business
operations. Lucchino was an owner and President/CEO of the Orioles from 1989 until the club was sold at the end
of the 1993 season, and of the Padres from December, 1994 to 2002.
The avid sportsman has the unique distinction of earning World Series rings (Orioles, ’83; Red Sox, ‘04, ’07, ‘13), a
Super Bowl ring (Redskins, ‘83), and a Final Four watch (Princeton, ‘65). Lucchino has been active in numerous civic
and charitable efforts, particularly in the research and treatment of cancer. He is a board member and served as
the co-chair of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s $1 billion “Mission Possible” Capital Campaign, which reached
its goal in 2009, and is on the board of Special Olympics International.
In recognition for “long and meritorious service to baseball” over three decades in the game, Lucchino received the
Judge Emil Fuchs Award from the Boston chapter of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America at their 72nd an-
nual awards dinner in January 2011. Lucchino was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in May 2012,
the National Italian-American Sports Hall of Fame and the Taylor Allderdice High School Hall of Fame in November
2013, and was elected to the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame in October 2015.

Jonathan Gilula, Executive Vice President/Business Affairs
Jonathan Gilula has served as Executive Vice President/Business Affairs since October
2009. In 2016, Gilula enters his 19th season in Major League Baseball and 14th as a
member of the Boston Red Sox organization. Gilula oversees all business operations
for the club including: ballpark operations, event operations, fan services, game enter-
tainment, video production, information technology, special events, and Florida business
operations. He also manages the relationships between the Red Sox and key business
partners, such as Aramark, Fenway Park’s concessionaire, and Twins ‘47, the operator of
the Official Red Sox Team Store.
Gilula has played a key management role in the club’s effort to preserve and protect
Fenway Park, which celebrated its 100th Anniversary in 2012. During the 10-year major annual improvement
process that began in 2002 and was formally completed in 2011, the team added capacity, created space for new
fan-friendly features and amenities, and improved the infrastructure both within and around the ballpark. Such
projects include the Green Monster Seats, the Right Field Roof, the EMC and State Street Pavilion levels, and the
installation of state-of-the-art High definition video displays and scoring systems.
Gilula has also assisted with the coordination of the club’s real estate activities, which have focused on ensuring
that development activities in the surrounding Fenway neighborhood are complementary to the ballpark. To that
end, he has negotiated agreements that have resulted in the addition of popular year-round restaurants such as
Game On! and the Bleacher Bar.
Gilula is an active participant in the planning and implementation of non-traditional, ancillary uses of Fenway Park
that have resulted in a series of popular and historic events over the past 14 years. Such events have included: a
schedule of sold-out annual summer concerts, most recently Billy Joel, James Taylor, Zac Brown and Foo Fighters
in 2015; several outdoor ice hockey games highlighted by the 2010 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic and Frozen
Fenway college games in 2010, 2012 and 2014; and the return of soccer with three exhibition games since 2010,
the most recent of which a sold out match between internationally renowned Liverpool Football Club and A.S.
Roma in July, 2014. During the 2015-2016 off-season Gilula played a vital role in the preparation and execution of
three very distinctive events at Fenway Park. On November 21, 2015, Notre Dame played Boston College in Notre
Dame’s annual Shamrock Series football game in front of a sell-out crowd, the first football game played at Fenway
Park since 1968. One day later the classic Irish game of hurling made a triumphant return to Fenway Park after
more than 60 years as the ballpark played host to the AIG Fenway Hurling Classic and Irish Festival that featured
an exhibition match between Dublin and Galway. And finally, in February, 2016 the Red Sox partnered with the
U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association to host Polartec Big Air at Fenway, where some of the world’s top skiers and
snowboarders competed in an officially sanctioned US Grand Prix Tour event on a 140-foot high, 430foot long snow
ramp constructed on the playing field towering high over the Green Monster.
Gilula oversaw the design, construction and business planning of JetBlue Park at Fenway South, the Red Sox Spring
Training and player development complex in Lee County, FL which opened for the 2012 spring training season. The
complex, a state-of-the-art, single-site facility designed to meet the long-term needs of the organization and to cre-
ate the premier spring training complex for both players and fans, has received critical acclaim and was nominated
by Sports Business Journal as Sports Facility of the Year in 2013.
Originally joining the Red Sox in October 2002 as Special Assistant to the President/CEO, Gilula worked on a number
of special projects including the annual Fenway Park Improvements, the refurbishment of the previous homes to the
Red Sox spring training facilities in Lee County, FL, and the construction of the Red Sox Academy in the Dominican
Republic.
Gilula began his baseball career in June 1998, when Larry Lucchino, then President/CEO of the San Diego Padres,
hired him to work on the planning and development of the team’s forthcoming ballpark and its surrounding neigh-
borhood. As Director of Ballpark Development, Gilula was a member of the leadership team that coordinated the
design and construction of Petco Park, the home of the Padres, which opened in downtown San Diego in 2004.
Gilula was born in New York City, NY and grew up in La Jolla, CA. He graduated with a degree in Politics from
Princeton University in 1998, where he was captain of the varsity tennis team and named First Team All-Ivy League
in 1997 and 1998. He serves on the Board of Trustees of the Pan-Mass Challenge, the nation’s largest athletic fund-
raiser, which has raised $500 million for cancer research and treatment through the Jimmy Fund since its inception
in 1980. In January 2011, Gilula was selected as one of Sports Business Journal’s “40 Under 40” Award recipients,
an honor that recognized him as one of the best young talents in the business of sports.
