Boston residents can shovel out fire hydrants for free Red Sox tickets

There is a lot of snow in Boston, you may have heard. 

As the city continues to clear snow off of the roads, it's piling up on the sidewalks and burying fire hydrants. A building in suburban Boston burned to the ground early Tuesday morning in part because firefighters had to dig out the hydrants. 

That's why the Red Sox are offering Bostonians an extra incentive to help uncover the city's 13,683 fire hydrants.

Meanwhile in Boston, we joined @OnlyInBos & @TheBostonCal to give tix for shoveling hydrants. http://t.co/bae3d2tJsK pic.twitter.com/92uR0JPe1D

Until Wednesday, Boston residents that clean off five fire hydrants will get two tickets to a Red Sox game. The details can be found here.

This assumes that it will eventually stop snowing in Boston and the Red Sox will be able to play in 2015.
