The Truck
In the category of "ridiculous annual events", the day the equipment truck leaves Boston for Spring Training in Fort Myers has to be on the list somewhere. So there I was.
It was cool - everyone in the crowd seemed to have the same "this is silly, but whatever" looks on their faces as I did. About ten minutes to 1, a truck pulled up with Wally and some assorted people, blaring music (Want to guess which songs? Did you guess "Dirty Water", "Tessie", and "Sweet Caroline"? Very good). They threw little Nerf baseballs everywhere (I got 2).
The funniest thing is that the cops didn't close off Van Ness Street while the final preparations were being made, so delivery trucks and cars kept going by. One poor reporter tried to do a piece from the middle of the street and had to keep getting out of the way.
Pictures (and a video?) when I get home.

Neat - I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures.

Baseball is the best sport, bar none, no exceptions. Go Sox!
