Notes: Thomas Yawkey Austin, of Detroit, born February, 1903 was the grandson of lumber and iron magnate William Clyman Yawkey. Tom’s uncle, William, son of William and Margaret Yawkey, acquired the Detroit Tigers baseball team the same year. After his father, Thomas Austin, died, William adopted Tom and his name was then changed to Thomas Austin Yawkey. William Yawkey died in 1919 and left his $40 million estate to his adopted son, Tom and Tom’s older sister Emma. Tom purchased the Boston Red Sox in 1933. Tom Yawkey was much loved by his family. Although he preferred a quiet and introspective life, he was a popular figure in Boston and major league baseball until his death in 1976. His legacy continues through his lifetime dedication to preserving nature and supporting the Jimmy Fund.
