COMMENTARY

Two weeks from Friday, the Red Sox will hold their annual Winter Weekend, a mildly notable development considering the only thing you remember about last year’s is the booing.

A lot can happen in two weeks, but as it stands, their strongest move toward preventing a repeat is inviting a half-dozen Hall of Fame alumni to this year’s event.

Hyperbole? The theme of waiting for something sure feels apt. And it’s not as though the 162 games in the intervening year, attended by the third-fewest fans of the John Henry era, did much.
