		Larry's brother Frank Lucchino is a Judge for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

	Lucchino's resignation signals MLB's preparation for battle - CBS SportsLine
		CEOs step down all the time but, in this case, it is difficult not to read Larry Lucchino's decision to relinquish some of his reins with the San Diego Padres at season's end as a strong indication that the owners are hunkering down and close to getting serious.
		Lucchino is stepping away from the daily operations of the club in order to, as he says, concentrate solely on two things: Issues surrounding the Padres' new stadium (now under construction), and representing the club at major league ownership meetings to work on "baseball-wide issues.''
		Before joining owner John Moores in San Diego, Lucchino, 55, spent 14 years with the Baltimore Orioles (1979-1993), and was president and CEO from 1988 to 1993.

		Lucchino sat down Friday to discuss some of his goals and priorities for the Red Sox as well as some of the challenges he foresees for the new ownership group.
		Lucchino: Our [diminished] time during the normal baseball cycle is one of the challenges, but also any transition -- given how long and entrenched the Yawkey and Harrington history is. Changes are going to be unusual and present challenges to all of us.
		Lucchino: It was a very vivid demonstration of the centrality of the Red Sox to life in Boston and the culture of Boston.

		LARRY LUCCHINO and Sox co-owners John Henry and Tom Werner were on their way to a sit-down with Herald publisher Pat Purcell in January of 2002.
		Undaunted, Lucchino decided that the residents of one of the country’s most fiscally conservative cities were not just going to care about their team again, they were going to contribute $300 million to help pay for a new ballpark that he promised would revitalize 26 square blocks of the neglected downtown.
		Lucchino may raise his voice, Charles Steinberg tells me, he may flash his temper, but it’s always in the service of the team, and the message is never demeaning.

	Epstein: Decision was personal, not politics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		He followed Lucchino to the San Diego Padres and then to Boston before the Red Sox made him, at the time, the youngest general manager in baseball history.
		Lucchino did not attend Wednesday's event - the only member of the management group known as "Theo and the Trio" to skip it.
		On the verge of tears at one point, Henry was effusive in his praise of Epstein and called him "a remarkable young man" who selflessly tried to hire Moneyball maestro Billy Beane for the GM job before it was given to him.

		The fact that Lucchino did not attend Epstein's press conference served as proof to some speculators that the relationship of the two men had unraveled, serving as a big reason for Epstein's decision to depart the organization.
		When Lucchino placed a 28-year-old Epstein into the general manager's role on Nov. 25, 2002, he made a calculated gamble that youth and lack of experience were obstacles that could be overcome by talent and drive.
		In closing, Lucchino made it clear that his statement was the end of his reflection on Epstein's decision to leave.

	Is Larry Lucchino poisoning the Red Sox elixir? - ROYAL ROOTERS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Lucchino never met ARod or Cynthia and yet he is just blathering like his blah-blah propaganda for anyone who'll listen.
		Then when Larry Lucchino, another cold-war warrior, blasted Orza and made a statement that separated Rodriguez from his fellow players, it blew up any immediate compromise or the hope that someone rational like Michael Weiner and Rob Manfred could be brought into the equation.
		Lucchino's presence does taint an otherwise remarkable brain trust, and he constantly hurts its credibility with his remarks, which tend to contain ludicrious statements intended solely to call attention to himself and blame everybody but himself.

		Although Lucchino says no final decision has been made on whether to attempt to build a new stadium, management is planning a series of short- and long-range improvements to Fenway Park that indicate the team will be playing at Fenway for the forseeable future.
		Lucchino said the team is exploring ways to add more seats, and one of the areas being looked at is the third-base/left-field roof just to the left of the Monster Seats on the wall.
		Lucchino wouldn't speculate on which of the free agents the Sox were likely to retain, but said the team had suspended its policy of not negotiating during the season in the hopes of getting deals done with one or more of the players.

		BOSTON — Red Sox president Larry Lucchino thinks Boston made a "strong and concerted" effort to re-sign Johnny Damon and spoke to the center fielder's agent as recently as Tuesday, when he agreed to a preliminary deal with the rival New York Yankees.
		Lucchino and co-general managers Jed Hoyer and Ben Cherington declined during a Fenway Park news conference to discuss details of their offer to Damon but conceded that the negotiations ended abruptly with the news Damon agreed to a $52 million, four-year deal with New York.
		Lucchino, Hoyer and Cherington praised Damon for his performance during four years with Boston, a tenure that included the team's first World Series title in 86 years.

		As Lucchino spoke recently of this week's return to San Diego – where his former team will host his current team's first visit for a regular-season series – you could also hear the bustling pregame sounds outside the Red Sox offices at 4 Yawkey Way.
		Lucchino has been gone only a matter of months, but he may have trouble recognizing some of the Padres' players, what with all the injuries and poor performances that have made San Diego a nonstop turnstile of personnel.
		Lucchino, the Princeton man and Yale Law grad who had the bright idea of placing palm trees behind the outfield fence at Qualcomm, is not completely buying into the general belief that New England's fans are too sophisticated and tradition-bound to accept the same sort of fun found in Mission Valley.

		After he moved to San Diego to run the Padres, Lucchino became part of the group that purchased the Boston Red Sox three years ago — the team of Williams' dreams, the one he grew up rooting for and often waxed poetic about to the young lawyer he mentored.
		Lucchino has maintained he is not interested in being part of any ownership group in Washington and that he is happy in Boston and has no plans to leave.
		But Lucchino builds ballparks, and even though he has gotten the most possible out of Fenway with renovations and additions, Boston is not going to build a ballpark — at least not anytime in the near future.

		Red Sox president Larry Lucchino said he had reservations about Flanagan's lack of management experience, but said the pitcher "is off the charts with respect to other standards."
		Chief executive officer Larry Lucchino accidentally touched on some old wounds Tuesday when he described free agent Tom Glavine as being "in the twilight of his youth."
		The phrase brought immediate chuckles from the assembled reporters, who remember former Red Sox general manager Dan Duquette declaring Roger Clemens "in the twilight of his career" when the three-time Cy Young Award winner left Boston as a free agent in 1996.

		But unbeknownst to almost everyone within the organization, the relationship between Epstein and CEO Larry Lucchino, the man who'd brought Epstein to the Red Sox from the San Diego Padres, had been souring for more than half the time that Epstein had been in the job.
		Lucchino had also opened up to Henry, about how he felt the criticism he often received from the press originated, at least in part, from within the organization.
		Not long after Epstein's return, Lucchino suggested that, in order to cut down on confusion, Epstein should be the person from whom the media got their information about the team's baseball operations, and the general manager began parceling out news as he saw fit instead of eagerly feeding the baseball press's always-voracious appetite.

		Unlike Lucchino, Vizas has no baseball background, and there have been rumors San Diego State athletic director Rick Bay could be brought in to serve under Vizas as chief operating officer.
		The new CEO is more low-key publicly than Lucchino and is said to be a fantasy type of baseball fan, but that can have its drawbacks, when CEOs get involved too deeply in baseball matters.
		Lucchino, I understand, might be interested in buying it, but I wouldn't bet on the team being sold to him.
