Jerry Kapstein
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jeremy A. Kapstein is an American attorney and sports agent. He represented most of the highly-paid players in Major League Baseball (MLB) in the decade following the advent of free agency in the mid-1970s.[1] He was called "the Scott Boras of his day" by Dan Shaughnessy in Francona: The Red Sox Years, a book he co-wrote with Terry Francona.[2]
Kapstein began his run for Rhode Island lieutenant governor on April 29, 2010.[3] He was the first politician to speak out against the state government granting Curt Schilling and his 38 Studios a $75-million loan guarantee to move the company to Providence.[4] He received 35.8% of the votes in his Democratic primary loss to the incumbent Elizabeth H. Roberts on September 14.[5] An injury sustained in a car accident in Boston thwarted his second attempt at running for the same office four years later.[6]
