wikipedia notes: Thomas Austin Yawkey, born Thomas Austin (February 21, 1903–July 9, 1976), was an American industrialist and Major League Baseball executive. Born in Detroit, Michigan, Yawkey became president of the Boston Red Sox in 1933, and was the sole owner of the team for 44 seasons, longer than anyone in baseball history.
Four days after his 30th birthday, Yawkey bought the Red Sox for $1.2 million on the advice of his longtime friend and former classmate, Eddie Collins.
The Red Sox had been the dregs of the American League for more than a decade since the infamous Babe Ruth transaction, and had just come off a dreadful 111-loss season which is still the worst in franchise history. Yawkey hired Collins as general manager with instructions to buy up as much talent as possible to turn the team around. He also heavily renovated Fenway Park, which had fallen into disrepair over the years.
Yawkey devoted his time and finances for the rest of his life to building winning teams. His teams' best seasons occurred in 1946, 1967 and 1975 when the Red Sox captured the American League pennant, and then went on to lose each World Series in seven games against the St. Louis Cardinals (1946, 1967) and Cincinnati Reds (1975). He would never achieve his ultimate goal of winning a World Series championship.
