Most Americans believe the hype when Puxatony Phil reveals whether or not we will have six more weeks of winter or an early spring. But we here in Red Sox Nation believe that when the truck leaves Fenway Park that spring is definitely coming sooner rather than later.
Of course it really means that spring training is around the corner for the Boston Red Sox as the truck left Boston on Tuesday afternoon bound for the Red Sox Player Development Complex in Ft. Myers, FL. While there are already a good group of players there, the equipment isn’t.
So when the truck gets there in a few days, everyone will be ready for the pitchers and catchers official report date on Sunday.
With all of the moves that general manager Theo Epstein made this offseason, there is a lot of optimism about the Red Sox getting back to the World Series this year. And that all really began with the truck leaving Fenway Park.
