Welcome to the official unofficial start of the 2024 baseball season: Truck Day!
This year newcomer Theo Epstein will be driving the…oh wait it’s still Milford’s own Al Hartz behind the wheel for the 27th year. What an honor, charged with the precious cargo of, well, baseball stuff.
If you’ve ever observed Truck Day in the past you’re familiar with the loot contained within which includes:
- 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
But if you swing by Fenway Park there’s also some other weird-looking goodies loaded into the back.
