Spring Training 2019 Update!
The spring training committee is hard at work preparing for an eventful time in Fort Myers to see our 2018 World Series Champions, the Boston Red Sox! We are pleased to announce that all spring training ticket orders have been filled, which was a challenge with nearly every game being sold out. Working closely with the Red Sox to obtain the best available seats for each game, we are happy to announce most of our seats this year are located in the infield grandstand sections.
Our annual Minor League BBQ at JetBlue Park will be on Tuesday, March 12, immediately following the game. It is a great opportunity to meet Red Sox Minor League players, and to get together in an informal setting with other BoSox Club members. Tickets for the BBQ are still available at $40 per person. Please e-mail Debbie at d.courteau@verizon.net prior to March 1 to order BBQ tickets.
Memberships for 2019!

DiMaggio 2018 Scholarship Recipients!
In 2007, the BoSox Club presented the first Dom DiMaggio Scholarship, and now we present it each year to deserving Saint Anselm College baseball and softball student athletes. Award finalists are selected based on scholastic merit, financial need and of course, participation in baseball or softball. This scholarship was first created to honor Mr. DiMaggio as one of the BoSox Club's Founding Fathers and its first President. St. A's was the natural beneficiary since Mr. DiMaggio had such a personal affinity for the school, having served on the board of trustees beginning in 1979.
The first recipient of the BoSox Club's 2018 Dom DiMaggio Scholarship is Maggie Murphy, an outfielder for the St. A's Hawks and a junior business major from Scarborough, ME. Maggie is second seeded for 2018, and went to the NCAA Division II Softball Championships, where the Hawks finished as the national runner-up, becoming the first ever St. A's athletics program to earn that distinction.
The second recipient of the BoSox Club's 2018 Dom DiMaggio Scholarship is Oscar Larranaga-Contre, an outfielder for the St. A's Hawks and a senior business major from Tucson, AZ. Oscar played all 39 games for St. A's, with nine doubles and a triple. He had 11 multiple-hit games, ranking second on the team.
Congratulations to the 2018 DiMaggio Scholarship recipients!
