JOHN L. HARRINGTON
Chief Executive Officer
John L. Harrington, chief executive officer, be¬
gan his 28th season as a member of Red Sox
management in 2000, having joined the organiza¬
tion in 1973. In 1981, Mr. Harrington became a
trustee of the Jean R. Yawkey Trust, which was a
general partner of the Red Sox organization. The
Jean R. Yawkey Trust then became the majority
general partner of the Red Sox in 1987. Over the
13 years since 1987 when the Trust became the
majority general partner, the team has appeared in
post-season play five times, exceeded only by the
Atlanta Braves, in all of Major League Baseball. Three of those post¬
season appearances have been within the past five years.
Since 1976, when the Jean R. Yawkey ownership commenced, the Red
Sox have produced numerous competitive teams, all with a cumulative
record of 2,005 wins and 1,759 losses, the second-best record in all of
Major League Baseball entering 2000.
During Mr. Harrington's 28-year involvement, the Red Sox have signifi¬
cantly expanded and renovated Fenway Park with new grandstand roof¬
ing, seating, private suites, club seats, left-field wall, an electronic
scoreboard, escalators, elevators and a parking garage as well as
renovated restrooms, concession stands and front offices. In addition, the
team moved its spring training headquarters in 1993 to a new state-of-the-
art facility in Fort Myers, Florida.
Since 1986 Mr. Harrington has been very active in Major League
Baseball. Presently, he is the vice-chairman of the Blue Ribbon Task Force
for analyzing baseball's economic structure. He currently serves on MLB's
prestigious Executive Council and is the chairman of the Realignment
Committee. In 1995, the Realignment Committee proposed and imple¬
mented significant changes to the M.L. competitive structure, by the
realignment of both leagues into three divisions with an expanded post¬
season playoff system and the participation of wild-card teams. In
addition, the committee proposed and implemented a significant revision
to the championship schedule of both leagues with the introduction of
interleague games in 1997.
Mr. Harrington also was the chairman of the Expansion Committee
which designated the last two expansion teams, co-chairman of the Labor
Policy Committee and a member of the Revenue Sharing Committee and
Strategic Planning Committee.
In addition to his sports interests, Mr. Harrington is a Certified Public
Accountant and member of the American Institute of CPAs. Prior to
entering baseball in 1970 as the controller at the American League of
Professional Baseball, he was an assistant professor at the Graduate
School of Management at Boston College. He earned his Bachelors
degree from Boston College in 1957 and his Masters in 1966. Upon
graduation, Mr. Harrrington served three years as a commissioned naval
officer traveling extensively throughout the world on a destroyer.
Currently he is a director of Hospitality Properties Trust and Senior
Housing Trust, both NYSE Real Estate Investment Trusts. He is a former
director of the New England Sports Network, Shawmut Bank NA and Fleet
Bank NA.
He is affiliated with various charities and non-profit institutions serving
as a director of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY and
the Baseball Assistance Team. He is also a trustee of Boston College, the
Dana Farber Cancer Institute, the National Little League Foundation, the
John F. Kennedy Library and Museum, the Boston Public Library Founda¬
tion, the Boston Catholic Charitable Bureau and the Archdiocese of
Boston-Inner City Scholarship Foundation.
Mr. Harrington received honorary doctorate degrees from Suffolk Uni¬
versity and Emmanuel College. He is an honorary member of the Boston
College Hall of Fame and the Boston Park League Baseball Hall of Fame.
Born in the Jamaica Plain section of Boston, he currently resides in
Westwood, MA with his wife, Maureen. They have three married children,
Debra McNulty, Brian and Sean, along with six grandchildren.
