Heidi Watney, Red Sox Twitter Followers Come Together for Inaugural ‘Red Sox TweetUp’

Twitter has taken the sports world by storm, with teams and individual athletes using it as a way to interact with fans.

The Red Sox decided to take their social media efforts a step further, though, encouraging their Twitter followers to come together and interact face to face.

The Sox hosted the first ever Red Sox TweetUp on Thursday at Bleacher Bar on Lansdowne Street. The event, which was held exclusively for Twitter followers of @RedSox, was hosted by NESN's Heidi Watney and offered fans an opportunity to step out from behind their Twitter handles.
