I declare the Boston Red Sox 2010 Spring Training season officially open! Ha! Just a little leftover Olympics enthusiasm. In reality, this game against Northeastern Univerity is considered an exhibition game, not an official Spring Training one. But any game played where score is kept, is official to me! And today's result was another beating by the Red Sox against the Huskies (Boston battered Northeastern 14 to 0 last year - see post dated Saturday February 28, 2009). In celebration of returning to their Spring Training home - City of Palms Park - David Ortiz blasted a two-run homer in the fourth, sure to be the first of many. As is usual with exhibition games, both sides utilized many pitchers and players. So which of Boston's prospects in Fort Myers will make it onto the Major League roster? Well, we will just have to keep an eye on Florida over the next thirty-one days. Welcome to the games!
