Is a new stadium for the Pawtucket PawSox or Rhode Island Red Sox dead?
The latest in the ongoing soap opera regarding the construction of a new park in downtown Providence has the deal finished. A complete flat line. But this is politics and this is Rhode Island politics. And as quick as you can say “Buddy Cianci’s toupee” the deal could be resuscitated.
Ben Mondor – one of the truly great owners in baseball – held title to the Pawtucket Red Sox since 1977. Mr. Mondor died in 2010 and the Mondor family has held the franchise until it was sold this past spring to a group headed by Larry Lucchino of the parent Boston Red Sox.
