Terry Smith purchases Red Sox from Pomerleau family

Brantford Red Sox announced the sale of the team to Terry Smith and his family on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.

With deep roots dating back to 1911 and 15 Intercounty Baseball League (IBL) championships to their name, the Red Sox are a cornerstone of the Brantford community. Under Terry Smith’s leadership, the team is poised for an exciting new chapter while staying true to its rich tradition of excellence and community engagement.

“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Terry Smith to the Brantford Red Sox family,” said Connie Pomerleau, former co-owner of the Red Sox.

“His passion for sports, commitment to community, and inspiring leadership make him the perfect fit to carry on the legacy of our historic franchise.”

Smith is the inspiration behind the beloved character Ted Lasso. Smith is a multi-sport athlete, head coach, educator, and entrepreneur with an extraordinary career spanning football, baseball, track, soccer, and business. A record-setting athlete at Furman University in football, baseball, and track, he batted over .400 as their MVP centrefielder, and is the second leading career hitter in the 100-year history of Furman baseball.
