As many of you, the Boston Red Sox faithful, know... Jason Varitek declined arbitration this week with the organization. And as some of you may also know, Thursday marks the unveiling of the newly redesigned club logo and select uniform design. But these are topics much better covered by Mark Fuery, our own Boston Area Sports Examiner. What I want to cover are the events and opportunities to enjoy the Red Sox, and how you can get involved!

So maybe you didn't score those clutch outfield grandstand seats for the first Sox-Yankees home game this season... don't despair. Games at Fenway Park are just part of the year-long calendar of Boston Red Sox events!

• Red Sox Destinations

The 2009 Red Sox Destinations schedule has been announced, and it includes popular destinations from past seasons such as New York, Baltimore, Toronto, Chicago, and Seattle. In addition, new destinations have been added: Washington DC, Atlanta, and Tampa Bay. Red Sox Destinations is a great way for fans (especially those from out of town) to visit Fenway and take part in Opening Day, watch some great interleague matchups vs. the Mets and Braves, or to see the rival Yankees. Trips to Fenway even include the chance to get inside the legendary Green Monster! All packages include great tickets to three Red Sox games, first class hotel accommodations, a private, pregame reception with a current Red Sox player, a VIP tour of the visiting ballpark, a gift bag with great Red Sox merchandise, dedicated service from the on-site staff and much more! Book your Boston Red Sox Destination package now! 

• Red Sox Spring Training & Fantasy Camp

For those who can't wait for April, don't forget that 2009 Spring Training packages are still available to see the Red Sox in sunny Fort Myers, Florida, as they prepare for the 2009 season. These packages include great tickets to two games, hotel accommodations, a Hertz rental car, an exclusive BBQ with select Red Sox players and staff, and much more. Book your Boston Red Sox 2009 Spring Training package now! A related opportunity, the Boston Red Sox 2009 Fantasy Camp, has spots remaining for this coming spring. Act quickly, as they sell out fast every year! 

• Red Sox Nation

The best resource is probably Red Sox Nation. Besides some small perks like a trial of MLB.tv, membership card, bumper sticker, and exclusive access to email alerts, sweepstakes, and message boards... RSN offers you a lot more. There are exclusive opportunities to purchase hard-to-find tickets to some of the best games, even overseas matchups! A discount at the pro shop. There is a free tour for two of Fenway Park, and exclusive use of the members' entrance to Fenway. There are even nationwide RSN member events that you can participate in.

Just a note... if you were a Red Sox Nation member, you might be going to rub elbows with the likes of Terry Francona, Manny Delcarmen, Jim Rice, Jerry Remy and Red Sox Front Office members at the unveiling of the redesigned logo and select uniform this Thursday. If you're not, you'll just have to read about it in the paper, or check it out on the news.

But don't let these opportunities pass you by for another season! The first step is to get on Red Sox Insider (their email update list) so that you know when memberships go on sale for the forthcoming season.
