Massachusetts State Representative Daniel Donahue Speech on Finding Public Transportation at Rally


Daniel J. Donahue (April 23, 1923 – March 20, 2015) was an American businessman who owned and served as president of the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball club from 1973 until 1975.

Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, Donahue was a graduate of Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, and then served with the United States Navy during World War II. Following his service, he received his law degree and was a venture capitalist involved in many aspects of the business world.

During his tenure at Atlanta, the Braves finished in fifth place two times and third once. In the 1974 season, Hank Aaron hit his 715th career home run, surpassing the 39-year-old Major League record set by Babe Ruth. In 1976, Donahue sold the franchise to millionaire tycoon Ted Turner.

Donahue died in 2015 in Barrington, Illinois, at the age of 91.
