The Boston Red Sox once again hosted a weekend getaway of hot stove fun for fans and families last weekend. The third annual “Baseball Winter Weekend” at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, included a Town Hall Meeting with Red Sox leaders, autographs and photos with Red Sox players, and panel discussions on a variety of baseball topics. It also included a full baseball festival for fans of all ages and clinics for kids.
The entire Red Sox roster, including coaches, was invited to attend Winter Weekend. Red Sox alumni were also in attendance along with Wally the Green Monster and his sister Tessie.
This is a tough event to make look pretty visually. Yellow casino lighting and crazy rug patterns don’t make for the best photos, but I still had a great time shooting. The event had great energy, both from the fans and the players. It made me excited for this year, which I think will be a great one for us! Spring Training is right around the corner.
