FORT MYERS — The Red Sox were hoping that some Saturday morning baseball could help provide a light atmosphere for children who just endured a living nightmare.
Three kids from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., were at JetBlue Park yesterday to take in the sights, sounds and smells of spring training. The children were survivors of a national tragedy earlier in the week, when 17 students were killed by a former student with a semiautomatic AR-15 rifle.
“They talked to some of the coaches and some of the players,” said Red Sox manager Alex Cora.
