D'Angelo winner will see the Sox game in NYC today

If all goes according to plan, Lenny Gallant will be in the Bronx this afternoon, presumably rooting for the Boston Red Sox and hoping for a sweep over the New York Yankees in Boston's final regular-season appearance at Yankee Stadium.

Gallant of Chester, N.H., will be there in his capacity as grand prize winner of the "Surf Turf and Win" sweepstakes sponsored by D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches, the Dedham-based chain. The prize? An all-expense paid, two-day trip to New York to see the Sox for Gallant and three of his pals.

Gallant was selected from more than 4,000 text entries to the sweepstakes, which ran from July 7 through August 22, D'Angelo said in a press release.

“We want to provide our guests with exciting incentives to visit our web site and stop by our restaurants,” Michael McManama, D'Angelo senior vice president of brand development, said in a statement. “D’Angelo Grilled Sandwiches enjoys a strategic marketing relationship with the Red Sox and this relationship enables us to provide great Red Sox experiences for our guests.”
