Boston Red Sox

Registration for ALDS ticket drawing begins today

The Red Sox, who have a four-game lead over the Texas Rangers in the American League wild-card race after yesterday’s doubleheader sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays, are looking like they’ll be a participant in the postseason party.

And though nothing is certain yet, a big part of planning for the playoffs begins soon, when registration for a random drawing for the opportunity to purchase tickets for any 2009 Red Sox postseason games at Fenway Park starts tomorrow at noon. Fans may register for the drawing online at www.redsox.com.

The random drawing for tickets to any home American League Division Series games will take place on Monday, Sept. 21.
