Red Sox Truck Day Is Here, Equipment Truck Leaves Fenway For Florida
The signs of spring are upon us in Boston — the sun is setting after 5pm now, and the Boston Red Sox are loading the truck up for a trip to Ft. Myers.
While regular season games are still two months away, Truck Day is often seen as the unofficial beginning of the Red Sox season.
May we present to you, the first sign of spring...
