A hand for the truck?
Okay, I’m coming out of my depression about the New England Patriots losing the Super Bowl, mainly because baseball season is right around the corner and the beloved Boston Red Sox will be defending their World Series championship. (To be honest with you I liked it better years ago when you could walk up to the box office and buy a ticket for that day’s game but I digress.)
But something is wrong when a group of fans recently gathered outside Fenway Park to watch a Red Sox equipment truck being loaded for its trip to Florida. I mean, it’s not as if Manny Ramirez was driving the truck or anything like that. If he were driving the truck, it would probably end up in Idaho. In fact, there were no players there, nothing to see except a group of moving company employees walking back and forth loading the truck with baseball equipment.
Yet they stood in the cold. Some of them even clapped. Why? Why would you clap for a set of movers? Maybe they were expecting a Bill Buckner type move and the boxes would fall. The “story” was on the front pages of the Boston newspapers and every television station was there to record the truck slowly driving away.
Only in Boston.
