The Boston Red Sox will honor Pedro Martinez’s recent Hall of Fame election amid their 2015 giveaways and promotions.
Fans attending the Red Sox’s game against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday, July 28, at Fenway Park will receive a replica of Martinez’s Cooperstown Hall of Fame plaque. Martinez, of course, will be inducted into the Hall of Fame during a ceremony in Cooperstown on Sunday, July 26.
The Red Sox announced several other promotions Thursday, including an opportunity for fans to vote on the next bobblehead giveaway, an opportunity for kids to run the bases at Fenway Park and a ping pong tournament that will take place at the upcoming Baseball Winter Weekend at Foxwoods Resort Casino.
The Fan Vote Bobblehead Night will be determined by a bracket-style vote from Feb. 23 to March 1. The bobblehead with the most votes will be distributed to all fans attending the game against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday, June 2. More details on the voting process will be revealed on Red Sox social media channels in the coming weeks.
The Red Sox will give kids an opportunity to run the bases at Fenway after a game each month from May to August. Kids attending games on May 24, June 7, July 12 and Aug. 23 will be invited onto the field to run the diamond postgame.
Fans interested in participating in the Red Sox Nation Ping Pong tournament can register for the pre-tournament qualifier at Blazing Paddles on Jan. 17 from 3 to 7 p.m. The eight winners of the qualifying tournament will receive complimentary passes to Baseball Winter Weekend (Jan. 23-26), where they will compete against Red Sox personalities for the Baseball Winter Weekend Cup.
