Report From The Fort 2010, Episode 1

Now that we’ve gotten the cliched title out of the way, it’s time to start really, TRULY start thinking about the Boston Red Sox of 2010. Captain Carl greeted us at the gate on the way down to Fort Myers, a reminder of the team I grew up watching and its legacy so very different [...]

ST Baseball back on NESN

March 1st, 2009 · 2 Comments · Red Sox, Spring Training, Uncategorized
