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 [...]
Working Out with the Sox
Monday, March 1, 2010 – Spring Training Workouts, Ft. Myers
On Monday it was back to Edison Ave. for my third straight workout. This time the weather was actually nice for a change. It was sunny all day, and by the end of practice, I was able to wear a short-sleeved t-shirt instead of bundling up [...]
Getting Warmed Up
Sunday, February 28, 2010 – Spring Training Workouts, Ft. Myers
Sunday brought us back to Ft. Myers, early again as usual. This time the day was sunny, so even though it was still cool, it was much nicer. One of the players I wanted to get a look at this year was Jose Iglesias, the slick-fielding [...]
Signing in the Rain
Saturday, February 27, 2010 – Spring Training Workouts, Ft. Myers
My first day at the Red Sox minor league complex did not disappoint. We arrived with the first bus just after 8 am, bundled up in sweatshirts and jackets because it was barely 50 degrees, and had a good spot to watch the players as they [...]
