What happened: The club remembered Morgan as a beloved fixture and sent condolences to his family. He entered the Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2006.
Why it matters: Morgan’s tenure became synonymous with “Morgan Magic,” the 1988 surge after his promotion from third-base coach. The turnaround carried Boston to the AL East title.
By the numbers: Boston won Morgan’s first 12 games as manager, 19 of his first 20 and 19 straight at Fenway Park. He managed the club from 1988 through 1991.
What to watch: Boston returns to Fenway Park on Monday, its first home date since Morgan’s death.
