One of the members of the new PawSox ownership group
has passed away of a heart attack at the age of 73. Team President
Jim Skeffington had partnered with—among others—Red Sox CEO
Larry Lucchino to buy the AAA franchise. While their plans to move the team to a waterfront site in Providence had met with severe criticism, it was still viewed as likely to happen—given Skeffington's influence in Rhode Island. It's unclear how his death will alter the ballpark plans of the ownership group.
