Pawtucket Red Sox President Jim Skeffington has died.

A spokesman for the team tells ABC 6 that Skeffington died Sunday night while jogging in Barrington, R.I.

Skeffington was a key figure in the effort to bring the PawSox to Providence and build a proposed $85 million stadium on the redevelopment land on Interstate 195.

ABC 6 says Skeffington's family plans to release a statement later today.

James Skeffington was 73-years-old.
