The Boston Red Sox maintain a unique tradition of holding an early morning game on Patriots Day to coincide with the Boston Marathon festivities, which take place nearby. This year, the game against the White Sox is scheduled for an 11:10 a.m. start, marking the earliest for an MLB game this season. The team has held a Patriots Day game every year since 1959, typically starting their games between 11:00-11:15 a.m., allowing fans to enjoy both the game and the marathon. Manager Alex Cora emphasizes the significance of this special day.
"The Red Sox have scheduled late-morning starts for their Patriots Day home games since 1968, so fans can cheer on the Boston Marathon competitors afterward."
"Today we had to get here very early for meetings and all that. But it's a special day. Come here, watch the game, and then go to the finish line."
