Before the game, three parachutists from US Special Forces landed on the field.

392How many more days until the SPRING TRAINING 2015 folder is open for business?
Re: SPRING TRAINING 2015!
394I couldn't find a pic or story about the trucks today, but I changed the title of this folder. I'll be in Sarasota all of March this year. Here are some photos from previous years. I'm sure it looks about the same every year.
Re: SPRING TRAINING 2015!
395One of the Indians people I follow on Twitter posted a picture of a truck leaving this morning. I was too caught up in signing day to bring the pic here.
Re: SPRING TRAINING 2015!
396Actually I just went back and looked for the post and saw several posts about the trucks being loaded but not leaving until Friday. So I may have just seen one of those and misread it, since I was too busy looking for Buckeyes news at the time.

Re: SPRING TRAINING 2015!
402J.R.:
In one of the pictures you posted you will see a sign on one of the trucks. "Andrews Moving. Official Movers of the Cleveland Indians".
When the Indians played in League Park, Andrews Moving was right across the street from the rightfield wall. Homers would occasionally clear Lexington Avenue and hit the Andrews building. Now they are the teams official movers. Cool.

Re: SPRING TRAINING 2015!
403HB: I had never heard that! How did you find out? I know you weren't watching any games at League Park!
Re: SPRING TRAINING 2015!
405I had read that recently and it kind of stuck with me cause I found it interesting. I love worthless trivia like that. Don't ask me where. It wasn't that article, but am glad you shared that. I had no idea they started a museum there. Something new to check out next time I'm in town.
