Red Carpet Glory: Boston Red Sox Bring 2013 World Series Trophy to Wang Theatre
Boston, MA – The glitz and glamour of the Wang Theatre’s red carpet took on a distinctly sporty flair as Boston Red Sox executives Larry Lucchino and Sam Kennedy proudly showcased the 2013 World Series trophy on Tuesday night. The gleaming hardware, a symbol of the franchise’s historic championship victory, served as a shining centerpiece, igniting a wave of nostalgia and pride among attendees.
Lucchino, the team’s CEO at the time of the 2013 triumph, and Kennedy, now the club’s President and CEO but then its Chief Operating Officer, posed together in front of the iconic venue. The duo’s smiles were as radiant as the trophy itself, reflecting both the accomplishment of that storied season and its enduring legacy in Red Sox history.
“It’s always special to share this trophy with the city that supported us every step of the way,” said Lucchino. “2013 was about more than just baseball—it was about resilience, community, and healing after an incredibly challenging year.”
The 2013 season remains one of the most memorable in Red Sox history, marked not only by on-field excellence but also by its emotional connection to Boston. In the wake of the tragic Boston Marathon bombing, the team adopted the rallying cry “Boston Strong,” uniting the city and its fans in a way that transcended sports. The team’s thrilling postseason run culminated in a six-game World Series victory over the St. Louis Cardinals, clinching the title at Fenway Park for the first time in 95 years.
Kennedy echoed Lucchino’s sentiments, emphasizing the bond between the team and the community. “This trophy is a testament to the power of teamwork, both on and off the field. It’s an honor to celebrate it here, in the heart of Boston.”
The evening at the Wang Theatre blended sports and culture, with the World Series trophy drawing as much admiration as the night’s entertainment. Fans and theatre-goers alike couldn’t resist snapping photos of the silver prize, rekindling memories of David Ortiz’s heroics and the team’s unwavering spirit.
The sight of Lucchino and Kennedy hoisting the trophy underscored the profound connection between the Red Sox and their city—a relationship built on triumphs, tragedies, and a shared love for the game.
