Red Sox annual Patriots’ Day game

Marathon Monday has always been a special day in the city of Boston, but it means even more since the tragic events in 2013. It’s a day that brings the whole city together.

In 2022, the Boston Marathon will take place on Patriots’ Day for the first time since 2019 as the 126th running of the Boston Marathon is scheduled for Monday April 18th, 2022. The Red Sox are hosting the Minnesota Twins that weekend and will take them on in the late morning matinee. Simultaneously, hoards of runners (read: crazy people) battle fatigue and chafing as they complete the 26.2 mile trek from Hopkinton to Boston.

I hope they bring back the Nike City Connect jerseys for Marathon weekend again next season. I know they were hit or miss with viewers, but I really liked them. Would I want the Red Sox draped in bright yellow and baby blue permanently? Absolutely not. But those jerseys and that color has significant meaning to the city and I think it’s a nice tribute.

That said, on Marathon Monday itself I don’t want to see the Red Sox in anything other than the home whites with Boston on the chest. Why? Because in the immortal words of David Ortiz

"“This jersey that we wear today, it doesn’t say Red Sox, it says Boston…This is our F’n city, and nobody gonna dictate our freedom. Stay strong!”"
