If you can’t go all winter without baseball, then the Boston Red Sox have you covered.
The team will host the second annual “Baseball Winter Weekend” at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn., from Jan. 22 through Jan. 24. The event will include a town hall meeting with Red Sox brass, round-table discussions, photos and autographs with Red Sox players, a baseball festival and clinics for kids.
“Baseball Winter Weekend is an opportunity for fans to hear from and interact with players, alumni, coaches and members of the Red Sox front office,” Red Sox president Sam Kennedy said in a press release. “From insightful baseball discussions to lighthearted Wiffle ball games, the weekend offers something for fans of every age. With help from our partners at Foxwoods Resort Casino, we look forward to once again providing an opportunity for families to experience a little baseball during the long winter months.”
The entire Red Sox roster has been invited, as well as coaches, Red Sox alumni and Wally the Green Monster. The weekend kicks off Friday, Jan. 22, with the town hall meeting and continues through Saturday with autographs, a display of the World Series trophies and other Red Sox awards, a pitching booth, indoor Wiffle ball and plenty of interesting panels. The fun concludes Sunday, Jan. 24, with a Wally-themed breakfast and clinics for kids.
Weekend passes go on sale Thursday, Nov. 5, and are $60 for adults and $20 for children 14 and under. Saturday’s events will be broadcast live on NESN. For ticket sales and more information, you can go to redsox.com/winterweekend.
