    Spring Training 2020

    Now that players are starting to arrive, I figured starting a thread about general ongoings of the team (not Mookie, not manager, not investigation, etc.) would be nice.

    @PeteAbe
    Good morning from the Fort. Quite a few players arrived over the weekend, Christian Vazquez among them.

    @PeteAbe
    The Red Sox coaches are coming in today. Roenicke, Hyers, Goodwin, and Bjornson among them.

    i havent been since 2003 ST. it was a freaking BLAST though. you should reach out and meet up with S5 and A7. i think they both go to pretty much all the games at the Fort. would be awesome to hoist some beers and talk shit. one of these years i will get back down there myself...

    Dewey will be at Fort Myers for the duration of Spring Training. This year, I will be there at the beginning for a week. Last year, Iortiz, Dewey and I took in a couple of games together. It was a lot of fun. I missed out on seeing John Tudor last year. He is friends with the guy who sits behind Dewey. Drop us a line when you get there if for nothing more than to say hello.

    Will probably come over from the Jupiter area on a weekend. Checking the ST schedule now. I'll be wearing a dark blue hat with a red B on it.
