Question of the Day: Boston Red Sox Beer Policy [POLL]

We'll be asking Foxborough Patch readers a different question every weekday. Questions could range from local decisions made by officials, to state issues, to national politics and entertainment. Whatever it is, we want to know what Foxborough thinks! To answer, use our comments section below.

Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester recently admitted to drinking beer in the clubhouse during games this season, creating a wave of controversy throughout Red Sox Nation.

While many MLB teams and fans disagree with the practice, the Fenway Park favorites are considered "a minority" in allowing access to beer in the clubhouse, the Boston Globe reports.

According to the Boston Globe, The Red Sox are one of just 12, out of the 30 teams in baseball that are still providing beer to their players.

The Yankees, Cardinals, currently competing in the World Series, and the Dodgers are a few of the 18 clubs that prohibit beer in the clubhouse or on the road. 

With the Red Sox's season ending in jarring fashion, becoming the first team in history to fail to make the in September, many Sox fans are left wondering where it all went wrong.

Former Red Sox manager Terry Francona said earlier this month that he supported the team's beer policy.

"I thought they were men and I thought they deserved to be treated like it," said Francona in the Globe's report.

The question of whether the Red Sox will maintain their beer policy will go unanswered until the new team manager is revealed.
