HOW ABOUT MOVING THE NIGHT GAMES TO 6PM?:
Patriots Day game to start even earlier (Gordon Edes, December 22, 2006, Boston Globe)
The Red Sox tradition of playing a morning game on Patriots Day is getting tweaked for 2007. With the start of the Boston Marathon pushed up to 10 a.m., the Sox have obtained permission from Major League Baseball and the players' union to start their Patriots Day game, traditionally an 11:05 start, an hour earlier.Posted by Orrin Judd at December 22, 2006 11:26 AMSox spokesman John Blake said a final determination of the start time has not yet been made, allowing for the possibility that the game could begin at 10:30. On the team's website, the start time is still listed as to be determined. But it appears likely that the game against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will begin at 10 a.m.
Isn't that 6 AM in LA?
