During the first NESN Live last night from Ft. Myers, FL, NESN introduced a new feature called The Second Base Cup. In it, the Boston Red Sox players who appear on the show will hit three golf balls from behind the set to the second base bag. The closest to the bag at the end of spring training will win something (they haven’t figured out what what the prize yet).

The first two golfers last night were skipper Terry Francona and reliever Daniel Bard who came away with the lead. On tonight’s show, it was time for catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia and starting pitcher Jon Lester to get their hacks in.

As you may or may not know, we here at SOX & Dawgs have been nominated for the “best Red Sox blog” in the New England Sports Blog Awards being held by Trufan.com. Today is the last day to get your votes in so we would greatly appreciate it if you could head over to Trufan.com and vote for us.
