Well - here it is the official truck day has arrived. Hey Cheri - watch out - it's on its' way to your neck of the woods next...
 When I arrived, it appeared that most of the truck was completely packed. So, what were the reporters to do? Well, they sought out interesting interviewees...and who did they find? None other than our own sittingstill:  There was still a little bit of room left in the truck - they really manage to pack the stuff in there. Here the photogs get ready for the final loading:   Can't forget the bats...   I'm still working on them, so a few more yet to come... |

Well, that appears to be all that they can fit in through the side door...time to close it up:
 Check out the back - it's loaded too!   Oh no! They still have a few more bags!! And they're pretty important bags, when you notice that bat bag belonging to #34:  and this bag belonging to Francona certainly had to get on:  The only place left to fit those were in the sleeper:  Well, that was it - nothing left to do, but drive that thing on down to Florida:   Next stop - Ft. Myers.  I'm sure Kelly will have others to post as well. And now Cheri - we pass the torch to you...hope everyone enjoys them. Once again, there were more press than fans, and it actually seemed less of a show without Dr. Steinberg's touch. Still, it's a little bit of evidence that spring is on its way - I like Truck Day much better than Groundhog's day.... |

That is the best to happen around here in nearly a week. Given the events since last Sunday it is the most wonderful thing I've seen in what seems like a long time.
It just never gets old. Spring is indeed on the way. -------------------- gcapalbo, HOF '06

Thanks for sharing this w/pics. Now I know spring is on the way. Winter is on the downslide and soon we will all be enjoying baseball season once again. This year we start as the World Series Champion Boston Red Sox. Twice in a lifetime, my God what a great time to be alive!!

Ann-
Thanks for the photos. Seems strange to not have Cheri sending the truck off, but much better for her to be on the receiving end in the sunshine and away from this snow & ice. Not long now 'til we hear from Mike F. and the rest of the gang. We are waiting for the Spring Training thread and those photos. We are in need of some good news. |

Thanks for the pics Anne, and I anxiously await Kelly's.
I proudly accept the torch that was passed to me. Rest assured Sox fans, I'll be at City of Palms Park to document the truck's arrival. It's been a depressing week and we could all use a lift. The arrival of spring training is just what the doctor ordered. Mike F has his camera and notebook ready for action, and it all begins on 2/16. I can't wait. -------------------- People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring. ~ Rogers Hornsby

It's so hard to think of anything that would match what I do: Fly to the moon? Jump out of planes? Bungee-jump off cliffs? None of that s--- matters to me. I want to play this game I love, be with my wife and son, and enjoy life."

Personally, life has been hard lately and these pics just made me step back, smile and enjoy that my beloved Red Sox are defending Champs once again. Spring Training is a favorite time of the year.
Thanks very much for taking the time to share the pics with all of us across Red Sox nation! This post has been edited by SpinnersRock: Feb 9 2008, 03:25 PM |

Anne does this much better than I do! I'm generally looking for the silly side of it. The loading of the most critical equipment...
 ... trying to get my photo mascot in the shot...  ... getting across the imbalance between media and fans present...  ... and the general disbelief of the guys just trying to pack equipment on a truck.  Got the locking up of the back...  ... and the disappearance of the truck into the distance.  Not to mention Anne, who looks like she has warm Florida sun and baseball on her mind!

They should put a little GPS thing on that so we can track it online.
