Red Sox Offer Food Deals to Draw Back Fans

Last season is one most Red Sox fans would like to forget, but the Major League Baseball team is trying to start this season off with a treat by offering fans free food and cut-price beer for the first month of the season.

This is part of a plan to lure fans back to Fenway Park.

Kids under 14 will get a free Fenway Frank, Goldfish and a juice box from certain concession areas before the third inning during April.

Hot dogs will he sold two for the price of one; hot chocolate will be cut from $4.25 to $2; and a 12-ounce beer that normally sells for up to $8.50 will go for $5.

Team chief operating officer Sam Kennedy told The Boston Globe the deals are to "thank our fans for their incredible support and commitment."

The Red Sox are coming off a 69-93 season in which they finished last in the AL East.

Opening Day at Fenway Park is April 8 against the Baltimore Orioles.
