BOSTON —
The Red Sox equipment truck for the club’s Spring Training home at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers, Florida, leaves Boston on Monday.
The truck is being loaded Monday morning and is scheduled to leave Fenway Park at noon for the 1,480-mile trip.
The equipment truck, which will depart from Fenway Park on Van Ness Street, will be led by a flat-bed truck carrying Wally the Green Monster, his sister Tessie and Fenway ambassadors who will be tossing soft Red Sox baseballs to fans.
It will be the 24th year that Milford native Al Hartz will drive the 53-foot truck, which will carry an assortment of baseball equipment and supplies, including: 20,400 baseballs, 1,100 bats, 200 batting gloves, 200 batting helmets and even 20 cases of bubble gum.
Pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report next week to spring training, that means we should know who will managing the team sometime before then.
Good Morning Gloucester
