Hello and happy holiday Monday, folks. Very nice of the federal government to give Sam Kennedy and Larry Lucchino (RIP) their own dedicated holiday today.
Good news for ya: we officially get to see the Red Sox play some baseball this week! Boston’s first game of the spring, their annual tuneup against Northeastern University, will be held on Friday at Fenway South. I’m looking forward to the subsequent annual crash out on #SoxTwitter when Northeastern scores a run early—it’s something you can set your watch to at this point. First pitch against the Huskies is set for 1:05 eastern, and it’s ONLY……….ON NESN.
Grapefruit League play begins in earnest the following afternoon as we’ll take on the Minnesota Twins, the first of eight games against our fellow Fort Myers dwellers. Hopefully we begin our quest for the legendary Chairman’s Cup strong; I’ve personally heard from CBO Craig Breslow that getting that silverware back into the Fenway South trophy case is of paramount importance this season. It’s coming home, many are saying.
How excited are you to watch spring training baseball?
Sound off in the comments about how important a 2026 Chairman’s Cup win would mean to you, and why that triumph would be a more iconic moment in franchise history than David Ortiz’s walk offs in Game 4 and Game 5 combined.
Be good to each other and go Sox.
