If you’re standing near Fenway and see a person in a David Ortiz jersey who smells like peanuts and Old Style beer, ask them. They’ll know the start time, the probable pitchers, and also the best place to get a sausage sandwich after the third inning. These people are oracles.
And remember: the game always starts at the time your friend says it does—until they’re wrong because Daylight Saving Time ended last weekend. Then it’s a minute earlier. Baseball is basically a riddle wrapped in a baseball glove.
So, what time does the Red Sox game start today? Check your phone, my friend. But if you’re reading this at a café and the barista just announced a 7:10 PM start? Order a latte, relax, and know you’ve got at least 7:13 PM to finish it. Play ball!
P.S. If you missed the first inning, don’t panic. The Red Sox usually save their fireworks for the fifth inning anyway. You’re welcome.
