Truck Day! Truck Day!

It's almost time, kiddies... Saturday is TRUCK DAY!

That means the big-ass 18-wheeler that carries all the Sox equipment and other assorted doohickies, thingamajigs and dealiebobs to spring training down in Ft. Myers will be heading out from Fenway Park in Boston to make the almost 1,500 mile journey.

It also means spring training and baseball are now officially upon us. I think this calls for a SQUEEEEE!

Things that The Truck cannot forget to bring down to Ft. Myers:

cribbage board
Parlay the parrot
watercoolers for kicking when angry
life-size cardboard Manny... just in case he doesn't show
Bud Light
empty Bud Light cases
notepad for Schilling to hunch over
jerseys for new guys Casey and Aardsma
WORLD SERIES TROPHY

I never thought I'd find myself getting excited about a bunch of sports equipment being loaded on a truck.

And yet...

OH YAY!!!!

I know it's only been a matter of months sense baseball ended, but it feels like it's been 10 years!

So excited!!

Oh happy Truck Day! It's been a long winter and I'm sooooo excited to see my boys back on the field!
Opening day can not come soon enough!

LOL..." never thought I'd find myself getting excited about a bunch of sports equipment being loaded on a truck."

Exciting baseball news in our house today...my husband just got an email from our Sox saying he's been selected to purchase tickets for either opening day or any of the Yankees games! We're hoping that he can actually GET tickets, but wow! We're hoping for July so we can get out there!

Truck day!!! I love Truck Day. How crazy is it that I am considering going to the Park to wave the truck onto FL. Too silly, huh?

And, I too, have a chance to get Opening Day and/or Yankees tickets!! Wonder which game has the most probability of scoring tickets? Any guesses?
