Happy Red Sox New Year

(Boston.com photo)

I may be a Scrooge when it comes to the Red Sox Nation membership card thing, but one silly Sox tradition I totally buy into is Truck Day, which is today. Yes, today is the day that a bunch of guys who probably never expected to be the center of a media frenzy load stuff up in an 18-wheeler which they will then spend several days driving down to Ft. Myers, Florida.

Yes, in Boston, we have a name for this, and Globe photogs show up to take pictures of the Atlas Van Lines semi as well as the hapless hand-truck operators, whose expressions in a couple of the shots posted on Boston.com this morning are truly priceless.

Truck Day is a welcome holiday as I mourn the end of football season!

Have you checked out Boston.com's "Most Beloved" segment, where you can vote for your favorite Sox players at each position?

That guy's face? Priceless. Like "WTF you taking pictures for? It's just a bunch o' friggin' boxes in a truck..."

I love the blog that you have. I was wondering if you would link my blog to yours and in return I would do the same for your blog. If you want to, my site name is American Legends and the URL is:

http://www.americanlegends.blogspot.com

If you want to do this just go to my blog and in one of the comments just write your blog name and the URL and I will add it to my site.

Thanks,
Mark
