2011 Spring Training

Fans gathered at Fenway Park on February 8, 2011 in order to kick off the Red Sox preseason by celebrating Truck Day.[4] Truck Day is an annual event which marks the Boston Red Sox’s truck departure to Southwest Florida for Spring Training. The first full team workout of the preseason took place on February 19.[5] Playing other teams in the Grapefruit League the Red Sox finished with 14 wins and 19 losses.[6]

2011 Season

The Red Sox made a statement in the offseason, letting everyone know that after missing the playoffs last year, they are striving to win the World Series this year. During the offseason the Red Sox traded for superstar First Baseman Adrian Gonzalez,[7] they followed that move up by signing star outfield Carl Crawford.[8] Those big moves have set the Red Sox up to make a run at the World Series trophy in 2011.

Opening Day

The Red Sox kicked off the year against the defending AL Pennant Winners, the Texas Rangers in Arlington, Texas on Friday, April 1. The Red Sox home opener was Friday, April 8 against the rival New York Yankees.
