Opening weekends in baseball don’t get much weirder than the one we just saw the Boston Red Sox play through.
The 2023 campaign opened on Thursday with the typical fanfare we’ve come to expect at America’s Most Beloved Ballpark—player introductions, the big ol’ USA flag being unrolled over the Green Monster, and all that jazz. What followed on the field was far from business as usual, as runs galore and whacky plays were the story of the series against the Baltimore Orioles.
But at the end of the day, it was a positive slate for our beloved home nine—the Red Sox took two games out of three, leading the combined score line.
