BOSTON -- The Defending World Champion Boston Red Sox will open the 2008 regular season in historic fashion-playing the Oakland A's in Tokyo, Japan, in Major League Baseball's International Opener. The club will visit the homeland of two its star players from the 2007 World Championship team and play at the Tokyo Dome on Tuesday, March 25 and Wednesday, March 26 (times TBA). The traditional home opener at Fenway Park, which celebrates its 96th anniversary in 2008, will be Tuesday, April 8, at 2:05 p.m., against the Detroit Tigers."On behalf of John Henry, Tom Werner, and the entire ownership and organization, we are honored to be invited to represent Major League Baseball and open the 2008 MLB season in Japan, one of the greatest baseball nations of the world," said Red Sox President/CEO Larry Lucchino.
The club released its 2008 game and ticket price schedules today. Fans' first opportunity to purchase tickets for 2008 comes Saturday, December 8, at "Christmas at Fenway," with further details to be announced in the near future.
The Red Sox are scheduled to play a total of 72 games with their A.L. East Division rivals, 18 each with Baltimore, New York, Tampa Bay, and Toronto. The Sox and Yankees have three weekend series at Fenway Park, April 11-13; July 25-27; and the final three games of the regular season, September 26-28. Boston travels to Yankee Stadium for a four-game weekend series, July 3-6, and a pair of mid-week series, April 16-17 and August 26-28.
The Red Sox will open the regular season with seven road games, playing the A's twice each in Tokyo and Oakland followed by a three-game series in Toronto. Boston's first homestand, scheduled to run April 8-13, features three games each with the Tigers and Yankees. The Red Sox have a pair of season high nine-game homestands, June 3-12 with Tampa Bay, Seattle, and Baltimore, and July 25-August 3 with the Yankees, Angels, and A's.
Boston will have 18 games versus National League opponents, hosting Arizona, Milwaukee, and St. Louis for three games apiece while playing three-game series at Cincinnati, Houston, and Philadelphia. It will mark the Brewers' first visit to Boston since moving to the National League in 1998.
The Red Sox have scheduled the majority of their home day games (including Sundays) at 1:35 p.m. for 2008. The exceptions will be the home opener on Tuesday, April 8 with Detroit (2:05 p.m.) and Patriots Day on Monday, April 21 with Texas (TBA). Times for all Saturday home games will be determined once the FOX national television schedule is announced. Source: Boston Red Sox Press Release
