Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is now a part-owner of the Boston Red Sox through an investment in Fenway Sports Group (FSG):

The deal, which needs MLB approval, would make James and his business partner Maverick Carter the first two Black partners in FSG’s history:

LeBron confirms he's becoming a partner of FSG and buying a part of the Red Sox: "For me and my partner Maverick to be the first two Black men to be a part of that ownership group, it’s pretty damn cool. It gives people who look like me hope and inspiration that it can be done."

But Bartstool’s Dave Portnoy has a question for Yankee-fan LeBron: “How long till our new owner does this at a Red Sox game?”

(Click on the photo to enlarge it and see LeBron tipping his Yankee cap “at a home Indians game when he was on the Cavs and is from Cleveland):

He has a point. LeBron, at the very least, is going to need a different hat:

He has ties to Cleveland. He's been known to sport a Yankees cap. But LeBron James is set to become a part-owner of … the Red Sox?

It's actually in Sox's best interest, writes @BuckinBoston (But if this is going to work, the Yankees cap has got to go).https://t.co/j6ZsxaFLak
