Red Sox, Yankees, Opening Day at Lincoln Theater

Damariscotta, Maine - Opening Day, Monday April 1 at 1:05 PM will mark the first pitch of the new baseball season and the latest match up of classic rivalry of the Red Sox versus the Yankees.  This year, the game will be broadcast live in HD on the large movie screen of Lincoln Theater and made available free to the viewing public.

As a special bonus, there will also be a pre-game talk at 12:30PM as local uber-fan Bud Elwin gives a pre-game talk on the life of Ted Williams.

This year, the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox will stand together to dedicate Opening Day to the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting that shook up Newton, Conn. three months ago.  The baseball rivals will wear a special ribbon on their uniforms to honor those lost and those affected by the tragedy. The ribbon will also be prominently painted on the field in front of both dugouts.

Concessions will be on sale, and seating will be first come, first served.  Lincoln Theater is excited to finally be adding sports events to its entertainment roster and looks forward to more of them in this future.  This opening day screening has been made possible through the generous donation of two Lincoln Theater members.  Play Ball!
