J.J. Lannin (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • aware health said:
    President and briefly owner of the Red Sox.
  • Wystan said:
    Joseph John Lannin, a native of Canada, came up from poverty to own several hotels in the U. S. He acquired the Boston Red Sox in 1914, for $200,000 (a princely sum at the time) and owned the team for only three years. He is remembered for hiring Babe Ruth, but a later team owner let Ruth go. In 1928, Lannin died under peculiar circumstances, falling from a high window of his Brooklyn (N.Y.) hotel.
