Red Sox fans will have an opportunity to get their hands on their own commemorative World Series rings this upcoming season at Fenway Park.
The team will be giving away the rings at four select games this season: April 11, May 28, June 11, and August 20. The first 7,500 fans in attendance will receive a ring.
Each game will feature a different World Series ring, either from 2004, 2007, 2013, or 2018.

The 2018 ring will be handed out on April 11 when the Sox take on the Toronto Blue Jays, followed by the 2013 ring on May 28 against the Cleveland Indians. The Sox will give out the 2007 replica ring before the June 11 game against the Texas Rangers, with the 2004 ring set for distribution on August 20 ahead of the game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
There already appears to be demand for the commemorative rings. The Red Sox say they have sold out a ticket special for all four games in which the rings were guaranteed to those who purchased the package.
Tickets remain on sale for the individual games.
