October 11, 201015 yr My memory of the matter was that Huizinga never care about baseball didn't care for the union and high salaries and only accepted ownership to bring the franchise to S Fl and pave the way for someone else, however he milked it for what he could and still does to this date

His friend, Carl Barger, strongly influenced, or encouraged him. Hiuzenga hated the union and had issues with the owners weakness when dealing with the union. That very well contributed to him wanting to just rid himself of ownership, but happy to keeping milking the cow.
October 11, 201015 yr One other interesting matter in the Henry tie in with MLB and Boston, is that MLB sent in their man, can't remember his name (think it started with an L) nor can I find it quick enough in a search, to work with the Marlins, the local govt and the state on the stadium issue. Coincidentally, Henry and the MLB guy must have hit it off real good, because after the "attempt" to procure a stadium in S Florida, the MLB guy and Henry were both part of the Red Sox new group. I believe you're thinking of Admin Lucchino.

Are you really asking? Who still owns 5% of the Stadium

I believe you're thinking of Admin Lucchino. Yup, that's him. Guess someone had insider information during that whole situation. From Wiki:Lawrence Lucchino, (born September 6, 1945 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is the current President and CEO of the Boston Red Sox, and a member of John W. Henry's ownership group.
October 13, 201015 yr an F_M sighting! Yeah that's how I remember him too. Not fondly. Give Dombrowski credit for helping to build the '03 team, sure. Henry, no. Yep, Im still alive. Been following the fish, but starting to get back into them in detail like before. Of course I dont know half the stuff most of the people here do, so I just read. : )
October 15, 201015 yr However Henry was doing then, he's doing damn fine now, it would seem: Red Sox Ownership Buys Liverpool (Soccer Team)

I'm sure that's the little nest egg he is planning on using for his retirement from public life.
October 16, 201015 yr Messy week at Liverpool with all this takeover business. Hicks and Gillett are suing for something like $1.6bn
