Not only is football officially done for everyone, but today also marks the most confusing holiday on the Red Sox calendar.
Truck Day.
I know I've said it before. Every year, probably. But I don't understand it. One of these days I need to contact the Red Sox or something and ask them. What is the point of Truck Day?
No, not the festivities they held in Boston today. Those I actually understand. If people are going to go down and take pictures of a truck being loaded, might as well sent Wally out and give them hot cocoa or something. Any excuse for a party.
But, still don't understand what the truck is doing there in the first place. The Red Sox sent out a tweet today saying what was in the truck.
Yup. A collection of things you'll need if you're going to be playing baseball. But here's where I get lost. Why is that stuff in Boston? I mean, there's aren't old baseballs, are they? The bubblegum isn't left over from the playoffs last season, right? So when the Sox ordered it, why didn't they send it to Fort Myers?Just a few things in the Truck:— Red Sox (@RedSox) February 5, 2018
20,400 baseballs
1,100 bats
200 batting gloves
200 batting helmets
320 Batting Practice tops
160 white game jerseys
300 pairs of pants
400 t-shirts
400 pairs of socks
20 cases of bubble gum
60 cases of sunflower seeds pic.twitter.com/UJ0sTu5gRe
And, players are down there right now working out. Some people stop by all offseason to use the facilities. Does that mean they players haven't been using a baseball to throw with? Are they bringing their own? Their own sunflower seeds?
Why isn't JetBlue Park fully stocked year round with jerseys and t-shirts? Why the truck?
Does anyone know?
