WORCESTER, MA — The Worcester Red Sox today revealed their full 2024 promotional lineup, including free tumblers, bobbleheads, and more interactions with the players than ever before. Town Takeovers, Heritage Nights, and Social Awareness Games also dot the calendar. Single game tickets for all 75 home games are on sale now at WooSox.com, the Polar Park Ticket Office, or by calling (508) 500-8888.
With a season-long theme of increased player-fan interaction, the WooSox will provide more than 100 opportunities to interact with players, including a “Meet the Team Party” on Saturday, April 6, five “Autograph Wednesdays” with current players, and even more “Throwback Thursdays” (13) with former stars than in its debut season (2023). Fans can come down onto the field to take pictures with players at “On-Field Photo Day,” Saturday, June 8, and to get WooSox autographs on “Team Autograph Day,” Sunday, September 15.
Additionally, WooSox coaches and players will provide instruction at six free Youth Clinics, presented by Hanover Insurance, on five Saturdays: June 22, July 6, July 13, August 3, August 17, and an additional date at an off-site clinic to be announced later.
Youngsters can take the field with the WooSox for the national anthem as part of Fallon Health’s “Future Starters” promotion on 12 “Fallon Health Sunday Fundays,” and fans can form the “High-Five Tunnel” that WooSox players run through at 63 games, Tuesdays through Saturdays.
Another innovation is the opportunity for Season Ticket Members and WooSox Rewards Members to enter the ballpark early on “BP Tuesdays” to come down onto the warning track to watch the WooSox take batting practice. All fans can come early to “BP Tuesdays” to catch BP homers on the University Dental Group Berm. The promotion will run on 11 Tuesdays throughout the season, weather permitting and excluding Opening Day.
The WooSox will again give away bobbleheads, presented by Agnelli Law, on a date to be announced. The club invites fans to send their bobblehead suggestions to info@woosox.com.
On Wednesday, April 3, the club will give away beautifully designed Worcester Tumblers that fans can bring back throughout April and May to receive free hot chocolate. The artwork on the tumbler depicts iconic buildings and scenes in the City of Worcester.
Again this year, every homestand will include “Taco & Tequila Tuesdays,” this time presented by Patron; “First Responder Wednesdays,” presented by National Grid; “Throwback Thursdays” with Red Sox legends; UniBank Fireworks on Friday nights; Sunset Catches on the Field on Saturdays; and Kids Run the Bases on “Fallon Health Sunday Fundays.”
