Eagles honor BC captain and ALS Champion Pete Frates ’07 on April 27 vs. Miami
BOSTON — The Red Sox and Boston College today announced the 13th annual Boston College Baseball ALS Awareness Game at Fenway Park on Sunday, April 27 at 12:00 p.m. when the Eagles will host the University of Miami Hurricanes. Returning to Fenway Park for the sixth time, this game has been played annually in honor of former Boston College Baseball captain Pete Frates since his ALS diagnosis in 2012. Frates passed away in 2019 at the age of 34.
General admission tickets for the game are $15 and can be purchased at redsox.com/alsgame. Proceeds will benefit the Peter Frates Foundation, a nonprofit organization supporting ALS patients and their families with the cost of specialized home care required for patient stability as the disease progresses.
Â
The game will be aired on ESPNU.
ALS CHAMPION: PETE FRATES
Pete Frates '07 captained the Eagles his senior season and returned to the team as director of operations in 2012 following a diagnosis of ALS at the age of 27. A driving force behind the world-wide "Ice Bucket Challenge" in 2014, Frates helped raise over $220 million dollars toward research for a cure. In the summer of 2019, it was announced that BC's new indoor baseball/softball facility would be named in his honor. Frates ultimately passed after a seven-year battle with ALS on December 9, 2019. In 2016, Frates' No. 3 was retired at BC's old Shea Field and in 2017 he was awarded the NCAA Inspiration of the Year honor. The bucket from his own Ice Bucket Challenge at Fenway Park resides in Cooperstown along with his BC hat and glove from his playing days with the Eagles.
HISTORY OF THE ALS GAME
BC played its first ALS Awareness Game in 2012 shortly after Pete Frates was diagnosed with ALS at the age of 27. The 2017 and 2018 games were played at Fenway Park. BC defeated NC State, 8-3, in 2017 and fell to Florida State, 13-7, in front of an ALS game-record crowd of 5,433 in 2018. After two years back at Harrington, the game returned to Fenway Park in 2022, and has been played there the past three years. The game will return to America's Most Beloved Ballpark for a fourth year in a row this April. The Eagles won the most recent ALS Game, 8-2 against No. 14 Virginia in 2024.Â
