A Sneak Peek at JetBlue Park
Tuesday, January 3, 2012 – JetBlue Park, Ft. Myers
I happened to have one day to spend in Ft. Myers this week, so I made sure to go over to the site of JetBlue Park, the new spring training home of the Red Sox. It’s still 47 days until pitchers and catchers report, and we weren’t [...]
See You on Opening Day
Monday, February 28, 2011 – City of Palms Park, Ft. Myers
Red Sox 7, Twins 6
Monday was my last day in Ft. Myers, and I had one last game to go to. We arrived at 10:30, just as the gates were opening, and I went down near the Red Sox dugout to see if I could [...]
Battle for the Mayor’s Cup
Sunday, February 27, 2011 – Hammond Stadium, Ft. Myers
Twins 8, Red Sox 4
After getting warmed up with the college games on Saturday, Sunday brought the long, grueling journey to the other side of Ft. Myers (and anyone who’s ever sat through those red lights knows I’m only half-kidding) as the Red Sox visited the Twins [...]
A Monster Day
Saturday, February 26, 2011 – City of Palms Park, Ft. Myers
Game 1 – Red Sox 6, Boston College Eagles 0
On Saturday, it was time for the first games of the new season. Of course, it was two seven-inning games against college teams, but it was baseball (or at least something closely resembling baseball) and, considering [...]
Goodbye Edison Road
Friday, February 25, 2011 – Ft. Myers
Friday morning brought the final Red Sox workout of the spring before games start up. And with a new stadium and practice facility set to open across town next spring, it meant this was my last day ever at the current player development complex at the end of Edison [...]
The Littlest Red Sox Star
Thursday, February 24, 2011 – Ft. Myers
My second day of Red Sox workouts again began early in the morning. We were in good position to watch as the players took the field, and I successfully called both Bobby Jenks and Lars Anderson over to sign. One thing I was happy to see was that Big [...]
Here Comes the Sun
Wednesday, February 23, 2011 – Ft. Myers
Today was the first day of the 2011 season for me, as I had the chance to head to the Red Sox workouts and finally get a look at the team I’ve spent all winter talking about and pining for. As usual, we left early and arrived with the [...]
The New Home of the Red Sox
Tuesday, February 22, 2011 – Ft. Myers
After a long, snowy winter, the time finally came for me to report to the Fort! My first stop was the site of the new Spring Training complex the Red Sox are building for next year, which is located on Daniels Parkway not far from the airport. The new [...]
Giving It the Old College Try
Wednesday, March 3, 2010 – City of Palms Park
I just got back from the opening doubleheader for the Red Sox. Both games were fun, and I got to see a total of 14 pitchers and 33 position players from the Red Sox organization. (It’s really hard trying to keep score during a college exhibition game, [...]
Rained Out Again
Tuesday, March 2, 2010
On Tuesday morning, we knew there was a chance of rain which was predicted to come through in the morning just as workouts would be getting underway. And if it did, the players would work out in the clubhouse and batting cages and the workouts wouldn’t be open to the public. We [...]
