The shadow of yesteryear still lingers, but the Boston Red Sox are set to embark on a new season, which they presumably hope will feature less alcohol, chicken wings and September losses.
Pitchers and catchers reported Sunday, with position players set to join them Friday. A little more than a week after that, the Red Sox begin spring training games on March 3 with a twin bill against Northeastern and Boston College.
The Red Sox will play in the Grapefruit League. The full schedule follows (courtesy of SpringTrainingOnline.com):
