BOSTON — In today’s world, coaches and front office staff in every sport are constantly searching for the next big thing to give their team an edge over the competition. While most professional teams are purchasing expensive strength training equipment and science fiction movie-like virtual reality technology to enhance performance, the Red Sox are investing in something slightly different: blankets and pillows.
The Boston Red Sox on Monday unveiled the team’s newly designed sleep room at Fenway Park. The sleep room, complete with mattresses, sheets and pillows from Red Sox official performance bedding partner Bedgear, is windowless and soundproof.
