Lawrence J. Dolan, a prominent American attorney, was known for his role as the principal owner of the Cleveland Guardians in Major League Baseball. Dolan’s career spanned from his legal education at the University of Notre Dame to his ownership of the baseball team.
After acquiring the Cleveland Guardians in 2000, Dolan guided the team through periods of success and challenges, including playoff runs and changes in player salaries. He also founded SportsTime Ohio to broadcast the team’s games, which later became FanDuel Sports Network Great Lakes.
Dolan’s legacy extended beyond baseball, with his contributions to the legal field and his family’s involvement in politics and business. His children, including Matt and Paul J., have taken on leadership roles in economic development and team ownership.
In November 2021, the baseball team officially changed its name to the Cleveland Guardians, solidifying Dolan’s impact on the franchise. Despite his passing in 2025, Dolan’s influence continues through his family’s ownership of the team and his nephew’s ownership of the New York Knicks and New York Rangers.
