BOSTON -- As the chief architect of the World Series-winning 1997 Florida Marlins, Dave Dombrowski owns a 10-karat yellow gold championship ring that probably still glistens two decades later.
But you will never catch him wearing it.
"No, I don't wear it at all," says Dombrowski, sitting in the Boston Red Sox dugout, iPad on his lap, in a quiet moment before batting practice. "I'm not a big jewelry person. They're big and they get in the way."
Besides, Dombrowski never got to enjoy the spoils of his lone World Series title in 40 years as a baseball executive.
