To our BoSox Club Members:
This is a strange and difficult time. We understand that the ongoing Covid-19 situation is an unprecedented challenge for everyone, both personally and professionally. Our hearts and thoughts go out to members and their families who have been affected by the virus. The impact of Covid-19 has forced our organization to cancel events in 2020, and to reconsider events in 2021. While we are hoping to resume our 2021 luncheons, at this point we remain uncertain. We know many of you have questions about 2021 dues. Any member who paid their membership dues for 2020 will have that dues amount rolled over into 2021, and will be considered paid in full through the end of 2021.
We are working with the Red Sox on a possible virtual event during the winter months. Watch for more information to come. We have heard general information from the Red Sox that Spring Training 2021 games have been scheduled. However, it is uncertain if fans will be allowed into JetBlue Park. We are waiting to hear back from the Red Sox on the next steps for ticket access to Spring Training (and for the entire 2021 season). We are hoping to hear from them by the end of January. We will let you know more information when we can.
We ask for your patience and support as we continue to work hard to navigate this uncertainty, and we thank you for your understanding and support. Please continue to check our website for photos, stories and a great, new merchandise page. Click HERE to go directly to see what new items are available!
As time progresses, you should expect more communication from us about 2021 events. Of course, our focus will be the health and safety of our members, speakers and attendees.
Happy holidays to all.
Wishing you health and strength,
Jim Parker,
President

Musings by Dick Flavin ~ Boston Red Sox Poet Laureate, New York Times Best Selling Author and Honorary Poet Laureate of the BoSox Club, on August 25, 2020.
RIP to Carroll Hardy, an American professional athlete in who played in the National Football League for the San Francisco 49ers and in Major League Baseball for the Cleveland Indians, Boston Red Sox, Houston Colt .45s and Minnesota Twins. He died on August 9 in Highlands Ranch, Colo., from complications of dementia. He was 87 years old. Most diehard baseball fans know that Hardy had the honor of being the only player ever to have pinch-hit for Ted Williams, but few know that his pinch-hit résumé goes well beyond this claim to immortality: he was the only player to pinch-hit for Carl Yastrzemski, Williams's replacement in left field, and also pinch-hit for Roger Maris.
