Truck Day!
Yesterday marks the official start of the baseball season for Red Sox fans. Fans gathered outside of Fenway to send off the moving vans that carries the ballclub’s equipment to Fort Meyers, FL for spring training.
I wonder, do the Royals have fans come out to send off their truck? Nah, who am I kidding. Is it a little crazy that the Red Sox do? You bet ya, but that’s what make up Red Sox nation.

Red Sox fans joined the team’s mascot, Wally the Green Monster (pictured, right), as well as legend Johnny Pesky to bid a safe voyage to the moving truck that has transported the team’s spring training gear from Fenway Park to Fort Myers, Fla. since 1998.
Here are some Sox spring training dates that start five days from now:
2.12 — Reporting day for Red Sox pitchers and catchers
2.14 — First workout for Red Sox pitchers and catchers
2.16 — Reporting day for Red Sox positional players

- As much as my daughter adores me, my son can’t stand me. He is just about the most chill kid I have ever seen until I get a hold of him. Is he somehow allergic to me or does he sense that I am incapable of producing milk? Hopefully he will think I’m cool before he can’t stand me again.
- Is it April yet? I wish I could go to sleep tonight and wake up to baseball season. For as long as the season is, the off season seems so much longer to me. I know I know, I am the exception to the rule, but I cannot deny my love for baseball. Surely it is the bitter cold (anything below 60 degrees for me) that makes me yern for the game, or maybe its the familiarity of the green grass and the smell of lumber and leather. I do know that this year is different, this year I have even more to look forward to…Fenway…Boston in the fall…me and my best friend singing “Sweet Caroline” in the eighth. Ahhhhhh (exhale)
- Tonight I ate cabbage and even kept it down.
- Chew on this: When you show love and grace to the hardest to love and offer grace to, you are probably closer to understanding God than you are at any other point!
