Today is Truck Day!


Part of what is being driven to Fort Myers:

— 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

Nothing can compare to the sheer jubilation one feels on this day. Feeling like 12 year old at opening day.

Truck Day just puts a smile on my face.

20,400 deFLATED baseballs??? HAHAHA....ow wait, that's last year's tired predictable joke. I guess I meant...Is that truck big enough for all the brown-skinned lazy overpaid underperforming players' pimped out CARS??? Yes, that's the one.

Also, the Herald (and at least one other publication) noted that Truck Day's "inception" was 2003. How do they think they got the equipment to Florida for the hundred years before that? (Or at least since trucks existed.)

And finally, my mom lives in Ft. Myers now! So she's gonna try and see the truck ARRIVE.

I saw that 2003 date somewhere else. They must mean since it was sponsored by a corporation.

Next they need to sponsor the day that the players clear out their lockers at season's end...

Like MattyMatty, I irrationally love Truck Day, too!
