How did I not remember that Ellis Burks played for the 2004 Red Sox?! I loved that guy back in his first Red Sox tenure.
 
I recall when Dukakis scheduled a media event early in 1988: Duke played catch with Ellis.
 
The press asked Ellis if he was going to vote for Dukakis.
 
Answer: "I'm thinking about it."

I'm sad no Arroyo.
 
I always kinda felt bad over how he took the hometown discount and then got immediately traded.
 
I wasn't strictly against the trade at the time. I partook of the Wily Mo kool-aid, but I felt worse when, some years later, I was pointed to his personal website, which was all 2004 and Red Sox and Dropkick Murphys and so on...

I really hope he doesn't get booed. 
Not a chance in hell of this happening.  At least not they'll you'll be able to hear.  A few clowns might, but they'd probably boo Pedro too.

Mariano Rivera should be a special surprise guest.
 
Rivera should throw out the first pitch, while Millar stands in the batter's box and ducks out of the way, then runs to first.

I'm going to guess no because do they ever pick up coverage of stuff like that?
If not I hope they post the highlights for us to watch somewhere.

If only there was a Red Sox message board somewhere on the world wide web that had amongst its members someone with the technical savvy to record and then post this information on said board. WHERE WOULD WE FIND SUCH A PLACE????!?!!

I asked the MLB.tv twitter account and whoever runs it redirected me to the MLB's Red Sox page so no luck there.

I was told 6:30 but Sam Kennedy did a Q&A on twitter and just said "get there as early as you can!"
 
It's probably 6:30 but I'm getting there on the safe side in case.

A buddy's wife works for the Sox and he just called her on my behalf.  She says they want people in their seats by 6:30.  I guess NESN's starting at 5:30 so they can get their full pregame in or something.

I'm reading a thread on a message board about a baseball team from 10 years ago and I am getting goosebumps. 
I know what you mean.  The feeling I get from thinking back to October '04 is indescribable.  Nothing ever will top this other than when I get married and when I have children.  That's what this meant to me.

I know some people hate the term Red Sox Nation, but if not that, it's something.

Awesome, man. Thanks.

redsox.com is going to stream it for you out of towners
Just curious where you heard that. I don't see any indication right now on the website that they'll be streaming it .
