We’re long past the days when the traditional Fenway Park openah was an unofficial “holiday” throughout New England, with kids and codgers alike skipping off to Kenmore Square for a first-glance examination of the Red Sox.
Times being what they are, and moving forward, the Red Sox must earn their keep.
So far, they have earned their keep.
So far, they are deserving of your hard-earned entertainment dollar.
So far, it’s good to be a fly on the wall to see flies off The Wall.
It’s not just the season-opening 5-1 Florida spring that’ll make for a light and festive mood Thursday afternoon when, at 2:05, the Red Sox take on the Tampa Bay Rays at spruced-up Fenway.
