The raffle tickets cost $100, and in addition to the first pitch opportunity, the winner receives four tickets to watch the game from the comfort of Fenway’s State Street Pavilion, as well as dinner for four at Sweet Cheeks, a neighborhood barbecue restaurant. In conjunction with this special event, Boston Pride is raffling off the opportunity to throw out a first pitch on the same Fenway Park mound trod by an endless roster of baseball legends from Babe Ruth to Pedro Martínez. The Pride flag flies above Fenway Park during the 2018 Pride Night, the last year the Red Sox won the World Series. During last year’s Pride Night, that duty was handled by Boston Gay Men’s Chorus. Tickets sell for $32 and $34, and are available here.Īdditionally, the Red Sox are promising “a special group” will be on hand to sing the national anthem before the game. The Sox are hosting the seventh annual Pride Night at Fenway Park on Tuesday, June 11.īefore that evening’s contest, the Sox will present a pregame Pride Party on Fenway’s Right Field Roof Deck with ticket proceeds benefiting the Boston Pride organization. And next month, there will be another reason for Boston’s LGBTQ fanbase and their allies to be proud.
With four World Series victories since 2004, Red Sox fans are quite familiar with the concept of pride in their favorite team.
