Our own little "unofficial" start to spring... | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 11306737  United States02/06/2013 07:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I thoroughly enjoyed "Truck Day 2013".  [link to m.bleacherreport.com] In Boston, nobody cares about whether or not the groundhog sees its shadow come Feb. 2. Instead, the coming of spring announces itself on 18 wheels of a JetBlue-sponsored Big Rig on Red Sox Truck Day. Quoting: SouthboundSoxAmidst below-freezing temperatures on early Tuesday morning, Red Sox fans came out to Fenway in full force to send their team—or rather their team's equipment—off to Spring Training in sunny Fort Myers. The truck was stocked full of everything from bats, balls (20,400 to be exact) and gloves to more serious items like 20 cases of bubble gum and 60 cases of sunflower seeds. But it's about so much more than a truck. Just like singing "Sweet Caroline" in the bottom of the eighth or signing Pesky's Pole, Truck Day has grown into its own tradition unique to Red Sox Nation, now 15 years strong. It marks the unofficial kickoff of Spring Training, but this year in particular, also a fresh start. The horrendous 2012 performance of the Red Sox didn't deter fans from coming out for the first step of the 2013 season. Truck Day served as the beginning of a hopeful turning point led by new manager John Farrell.  ------ |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 11306429 United States02/06/2013 09:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This years edition of the Red Sox features many veteran free agent signee's that were acquired as stop gap players while the team developes it's minor league talent. I don't think much is expected from this group but if some of these vets can find their groove again, who knows? Keep your eye on Mike Napoli. I think he's the next Nick Esasky. Plus I got word from a close friend that he's drinking the "elixir of life". ; ) [link to youtu.be]  ------ |
