Red Sox staff led media on a tour of the ballpark Wednesday, offering a taste of the new menu and a walk onto the freshly manicured field as workers hurried to prepare for Friday's game. Opening Day Advertisement The pregame ceremonies for Friday's opener will honor the 50th anniversary of the 1975 Red Sox American League championship win and recognize Tiant, the Red Sox Hall of Famer, who 'We're welcoming back the 1975 team, which Luis was such an integral part of in their trip to the championship,' said McKenna. Gates will open at 12:10 p.m. and fans should be seated by 1:30 p.m. for the pregame ceremonies. Before the game, the colors will be presented by members of the Massachusetts National Guard, Air Force, and Coast Guard. McKenna said she expects the Red Sox to come out on top against St. Louis on Friday: 'We're going to do great because we'll have all the Fenway fans behind us, welcoming our guys back to Boston.'
