Boston Red Sox 2012 Spring Training

The Boston Red Sox will open the 2012 Spring Training Schedule includes 18 games at the team’s new Spring Training facility, JetBlue Park at Fenway South having played their last game at City of Palms Park in 2011. The 33-game exhibition season includes one game against the Washington Nationals in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, April 3. Tickets for all 2012 Spring Training games at JetBlue Park are scheduled to go on sale on Saturday, December 17.

Boston will open the Spring Training season with two college exhibitions on Saturday, March 3, a 2:35 p.m. matinee against the Northeastern University Huskies followed by a nightcap with the Boston College Eagles at 7:05 p.m.

The Red Sox will kick off the 2012 Grapefruit League schedule at home on Sunday, March 4 at 1:35 p.m. against their Mayor’s Cup rival Minnesota Twins. The Twins host Boston at Hammond Stadium the following night, the second of six total contests between the cross-town foes.

Boston will visit the AL East rival New York Yankees on Tuesday, March 13 at 7:05 p.m. in Tampa and will host the club on Thursday, March 22 at 7:05 p.m. The contests are two of nine scheduled night games for the Red Sox this spring, including six at home.

Ticket prices at JetBlue Park will range from $5 to $46 for the 2012 season with more than 75 percent of tickets available priced at $27 or less. Like JetBlue Park, the Red Sox previous Spring Training home, the majority of seats in the park will be in the shade.

On March 17, the Baltimore Orioles will visit JetBlue Park as part of a split-squad St. Patrick’s Day match-up, starting at 1:35 p.m. The team will also play a 1:05 p.m. game against the Orioles in Sarasota. Other division matchups include three additional contests against Baltimore, four versus the Tampa Bay Rays and four with Toronto.

Prior to the start of the exhibition season, Red Sox will hold workouts at the organization’s new Player Development Complex at Fenway South. Pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report on Sunday, February 19, and will hold the first workout on Tuesday, February 21 with the first full squad workout on Saturday, February 25. All workouts are open to the public free of charge.

Nearby are the Baltimore Orioles, New York Yankees, Philadelphia, Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates, Tampa Bay Rays and spring training camps. Be sure to check their schedules for more exciting Spring Training major league baseball!

Ticket prices at JetBlue Park will range from $5 to $46 for the 2012 season. The Homeplate Dugout Box, at $46, remains the same as the 2011 price in the similar seating category behind home plate at JetBlue Park. The Reserved Lawn Area, at $5, is located above the bullpens in right-center field and occupies a larger area than the smaller sloped grass berm area at City of Palms. While most Major League clubs have yet to announce their 2012 Spring Training ticket prices, when compared with 2011 pricing, the $5 Reserved Lawn tickets are currently the lowest priced Spring Training ticket in Major League Baseball.

Red Sox Century

 This is an exhaustively researched history, but it's also a fan's book, filled with affection and exasperation. Stout and Johnson effectively pepper their narrative with personal reflections and observations from writers such as Peter Gammons, Dan Shaughnessy, and Elizabeth Dooley. They also pick a Red Sox all-century team, make a fine case for Pedro's '99 season as the best ever for a pitcher, compile some requisite stats, and assemble the most complete Sox bibliography ever. About the only thing they don't supply is a good parking place near Fenway.
