• Joe Morgan, the 95-year-old former Red Sox manager, died on September 6, 2026 (time.news) — Walpole is remembering native son Joe Morgan, the former Red Sox manager whose 1988 "Morgan's Magic" run became part of New England baseball lore, after his death at 95 on September 6. Morgan often joked that if you didn't live in Walpole you were just camping out, and his mix of humor, blunt honesty, and deep local roots shaped both his clubhouse leadership and his enduring legacy for area fans.
