It’s Opening Day At Fenway Park! (Kind of)
Nobody will be there to see it in person, but the Sox are back at the holiest of ball park cathedrals, Fenway Park!
Most of us didn’t think it would happen. But today is, indeed, opening day for MLB!
It will be a very different and very short season. Despite some rules changes, pumped in crowd noise, and empty seats, it will sure feel good to watch the boys of summer back in action, giving us a little much needed “normalcy” and entertainment to look forward to.
Game time: 7:30pm

The best place to see tonight’s game vs. Baltimore will be from the safety and comfort of your home, of course. However, Landsdowne Street will be hosting patrons outside at various restaurants and bars. Please wear your masks and keep your distance, for all of us fans.
You can’t be in the ballpark this opening day.... but you can be close! Landsdowne Street will be turned into a fan zone today and every home gameday, complete with with pop-up patios. Mayor is warning against people just hanging out around the park though #wcvb pic.twitter.com/Mp7Cnb0J2P

Can you feel the vibe? Let’s go Sox! We’ve got karma in our corner- it was on this day in 2004 (Yup, the year the curse was reversed) that Varitek gave it to A-Rod in sheer dirt dawg style!
On this date in 2004, the infamous fight between Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek and Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez occurs at Fenway Park.
