Fenway Park has historically had sellouts and expensive beer. Perhaps because they’re worrying about the former, the Sox are about to do away with the latter, at least for a limited time:
Two-for-one hot dog deals, discounted hot chocolate and a free kids meal are a few of the deals Boston’s baseball team is offering in hopes of attracting more fans to Fenway. But the $2.50 off beer is probably the most effective ploy to get fans back following a 83-loss season in 2012.
Cold weather and a lot of less-than-exciting April home games (the Royals, A’s and Astros are coming to town) is the likely reason for this. So thanks to the Astros, Sox fans will get $5 12 ounce beers.
I suppose there will be some sneering at this, with people saying the Red Sox are desperate or whatever. If that’s your inclination, maybe you need to examine why in the heck you care about the Red Sox’ sellout streak and things like that and examine why you’d do anything about low beer prices other than embrace them wholeheartedly.
