Seventy years after his premature death, there's still never been anyone in these parts quite like Harry Agganis

I was one of the many young lads growing up in the '50s who was enraptured by the fictional exploits of Clair Bee's Chip Hilton, a brilliant three-sports star who also never said or did anything wrong. But young people growing up in our area from 1945-55 actually had such a real-life model in Agganis, who received equal praise in his lifetime for his athletic accomplishments and the way he carried himself on a daily basis. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up He began compiling his résumé in his early teens, when he attracted attention for his summertime baseball exploits. Before he was out of high school, he would play in baseball All-Star Games in Wrigley Field, Ebbets Field, the Polo Grounds, and, of course, Fenway Park. His Lynn Classical baseball team would win a state championship. He would have a high school football career without equal. Then came Boston University, a brief stint in the Marine Corps, and a move to the Boston Red Sox, who beat out the NFL for his services. Advertisement One more thing: Agganis's basketball exploits also were worthy of a college scholarship. A teammate happened to be Kentucky great — and future Celtic — Lou Tsioropoulos, who played with Agganis at Classical before graduating from Lynn English. Related : Advertisement Agganis's influence on his collegiate alma mater is on display 365 days a year with the presence on Commonwealth Avenue of the dazzling Agganis Arena. Naming it in his honor was an easy call. Along the way, he twice landed on the cover of Sport magazine, which was a must-read for any serious fan at that time. The first time it was a solo, and the second time it was shared with Allie Reynolds, Doak Walker, and Jackie Robinson, which was pretty good company. Agganis made such an impression as a Marine in his one year in uniform that a field has been named for him at Camp Lejeune. And, are you ready for this? On June 6, 1954, he hit a winning home run at Fenway against the Tigers, and when the game was over he hustled down Comm. Ave. to Braves Field, where he received his BU degree. Even Chip Hilton never did that. Nor Mickey Mantle. It was the only time a local athlete was cheered in two major league ballparks on the same day. Have I mentioned he had a fan club while in high school? Or that he also had the lead in his high school's production of 'Stage Door'? His Lynn Classical days will never be repeated. With southpaw quarterback Harry Agganis at the controls, Classical became a power. 'Manning Bowl was the place to be,' says Johnson. No kidding. Classical played to an estimated 160,000 people during the 1947 season. That was the follow-up to the fabulously successful 1946 campaign, when Classical topped it off by defeating Granby High of Norfolk, Va., in the North-South Shrine Game, which was played in the Orange Bowl. Advertisement Classical made news the following year by spurning an invitation to defend its crown for a most exemplary reason. Led by Agganis, Classical refused to leave behind Black teammates Paul Pittman and Tom Smith. This was in sharp contrast to the shameful Boston College decision six years earlier to play in the Sugar Bowl without Black running back Lou Montgomery. It is impossible to exaggerate Agganis's football skill. He passed. He ran. He punted. His nephew Mike Agganis loves to point out that one year he also intercepted a pass for every TD toss. Statistics and touchdowns are only the beginning of the Harry Agganis story. His elders had never encountered anyone like him. 'I have never once heard him say an unkind word about anybody nor utter an oath or curse,' said his high school football coach, Bill Joyce. 'In all my 28 years of coaching boys at Classical, he is the only boy from whom I have actually learned and from who I have actually sought advice.' Harry Agganis was not a mere local phenomenon. In 1947, he was chosen captain of the All-America high school football team by the 'Wigwam Wisemen of Oklahoma.' The word was out. He was recruited by more than 60 schools, which was a lot in those days. Among his most ardent pursuers was Notre Dame immortal Frank Leahy. It turned out those outsiders never had a chance. To the delight of Terriers coach Buff Donelli, Agganis chose BU because he didn't want to go far away from his widowed mother. A few years later, he would use the same reasoning to choose the Red Sox. Advertisement Before that choice, however, there was a stellar career at BU. It did not take long for people to take notice. In November 1949, Agganis's sophomore year, legendary Washington Post columnist Shirley Povich wrote the following: 'With each succeeding Saturday, what was Agganis's purely localized fame in New England has been burgeoning all over the football landscape.' The big issue eventually confronting Agganis was deciding between a professional career in football or baseball. Cleveland Browns pooh-bah Paul Brown lusted for him, but in the end Agganis chose to stay with the hometown team in what was still America's favorite sport. As was the custom everywhere he went, Agganis became the toast of Louisville en route to Fenway. He was named 'Colonel of the Year' by the Triple A affiliate, citing his 'brilliant performances on the field and his gentlemanly disposition.' After going through an up-and-down rookie season in 1954, he was figuring things out and was batting a robust .313 with some power when he was stricken with a blood clot issue in early June. He entered the hospital on June 5, 1955. He died of a pulmonary embolism emanating from the blood clot on June 27. The front page of the June 27, 1955, Boston Evening Globe shared the news of the death of Harry Agganis. Globe archives The news was stunning. Harry Agganis was Boston's young prince. He was only 26. How could this be? Austen Lake of the Boston Record-American spoke for countless thousands when he wrote, 'Now Harry is dead! My ears hear it, but my mind rejects the idea.' Mike Gillooly of the Record-American added this: 'He appeared immune to pain, plague, pox, virus, and that's why the death of Harry Agganis yesterday pierced the heart of the city; plunged the entire sports world into deep grief.' Advertisement The story was only going to get better. A deal was being worked out with the Red Sox allowing Agganis to report to training camp with the Baltimore Colts in 1955. Nope. You couldn't make this up. With Harry Agganis, you never had to fabricate anything. He just was. Bob Ryan can be reached at

Sammy Sosa looks his old self in two-decade return to Wrigley Field after Cubs feud

At long last, Sammy Sosa is back at Wrigley Field. The slugger and Cubs legend returned to Wrigley for the first time in 21 years on Friday — and he's back to looking the way he did during his playing days. Sosa's skin was visibly darker again, after it had become increasingly lighter in the years following the end of his MLB career in 2007. Advertisement In 2009, Sosa told Univision that the lightening of his complexion was due to a cosmetic facial cream he used to soften his skin. Cubs fans welcomed the former MVP back to Wrigley with open arms, giving Sosa a standing ovation after the team played a tribute video on the scoreboard before the third inning of Friday's game between Chicago and the Mariners. Advertisement As a camera panned to Sosa in the stands, the seven-time All-Star did his iconic home run celebration as the crowd roared. Sosa played 13 seasons with the Cubs, hitting 545 home runs over that stretch. 4 Cubs legend Sammy Sosa returned to Wrigley Field for the first time in 21 years on Friday. Matt Marton-Imagn Images He's most famous for blasting a ridiculous 66 homers in 1998, falling just short of Mark McGwire's 70 bombs that were then a single-season record. Advertisement But Sosa had a tension-filled exit from Chicago, which led to his two-decade absence from Wrigley Field and the Cubs organization. In the final game of the 2004 season, his last in Chicago, Sosa arrived just 70 minutes before first pitch and left shortly after the game began, getting fined by the Cubs as a result. One Cubs player, whose identity still remains unknown, smashed Sosa's boom box in the clubhouse after that game, enraged by the slugger's actions. 4 Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa hits a home run against the Marlins in June 1998. ASSOCIATED PRESS Advertisement Tensions between the Cubs and Sosa also stemmed from Sosa's alleged use of steroids throughout his career. The Cubs never retired Sosa's No. 21 nor invited him back for any team festivities, with a team spokesperson telling ESPN in 2014 that Sosa needed to 'make amends' with the organization. Sosa did that by releasing a statement in 2024 apologizing for 'mistakes,' and he was accordingly welcomed back into the organization's good graces. 4 Former Chicago Cubs star Sammy Sosa addresses the media in the fourth inning during a game against the Seattle Mariners at Wrigley Field on June 20, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois.

Red Sox CBO Craig Breslow slams one Rafael Devers trade report as ‘absolutely not true'

Since trading Rafael Devers to the Giants, Craig Breslow has chosen his words carefully. The Red Sox CBO has taken care not to divulge specifics about what went on with Devers behind the scenes and what most of the trade conversations were like. Advertisement However, on WEEI's Greg Hill Show on Tuesday morning, Breslow did slam one report as 'absolutely not true.' The Giants took on all of Devers' contract and will pay him $271.2 million over the next nine seasons. On Baseball America's 'Hot Sheet' podcast, Geoff Pontes said there was different trade Breslow had in the works that was shot down by Red Sox ownership because the suitor wouldn't pay full freight. 'There was another deal where they were taking on some of the money,' Pontes said. 'I do not know what pieces were included within that particular deal. That was vetoed by John Henry and the reason it was vetoed was because they had to take on money.' Breslow was quick to say that wasn't true in his WEEI appearance. Advertisement 'No,' Breslow said. 'When I read that, I was as surprised as anybody else would have been who had no idea that this was a thing or had happened. Absolutely not true.' If Boston had eaten some of the money on Devers' contract, they may have netted a stronger return for the All-Star. Ultimately, they landed pitchers Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison and prospects James Tibbs and Jose Bello from San Francisco. More Red Sox coverage Read the original article on MassLive.
