truck day

While all of New England basks in the glory of the Patriots improbable 5th Super Bowl win last night, it is truck day for the Boston Red Sox. What is truck day? It is a rite of late winter in New England. The Red Sox's equipment truck will leave Fenway Park for its 1,480-mile trip to Fort Myers, Fla, spring training home for the Red Sox...

It’s "Truck Day!" It’s the unofficial beginning of the Red Sox baseball season. It’s the day the truck full of the player’s equipment leaves Fenway for Fort Myers. The 18-wheeler travels almost 1,500 miles to bring the gloves, bats and every thing else they’ll need for spring training.
