If we're not careful, we may wake up someday and find that
John Henry has been declared
Emperor of Massachusetts. The
Ichabod Crane-like owner of the Red Sox, NESN,
The Boston Globe and the Liverpool Reds is now poised to takeover the Pawtucket Red Sox. His own plaything—the
Globe itself—reported today that
a "portion" of the current Red Sox ownership group will buy the PawSox. It's hard to image that "portion" does not include Henry—either in an overt or "silent partner" role.
