What It’s Like To Move A MLB Team
Since 2002, Truck Day has become a formal procedure for moving Major League Baseball teams for spring training and it signifies the beginning of the baseball season. It was first started by the Executive-VP of Boston Red Sox, Dr. Charles Steinberg. Moving day features fans coming out to cheer as the trucks are loaded. It is then accompanied with a police escort and the fans to the highway before embarking on a 1500-mile journey to For Myer.
According to the Atlas agent, New England Household Moving & Storage’s Kevin Carson, which as been moving the Red Sox team’s gears for spring training since 1996, the Truck Day is a big day for movers. Recently even other teams are beginning to make the most out of the Truck Day. This includes the Detroit Tigers, Cincinnati Reds, Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies. In fact, many teams have come to associate the day with the start of the new season.
The Atlas agent, Alexander’s Mobility Services has become a specialist in the moving business. In addition to moving the LA Angels’ office, they have also moved many players including the teams GM and AGM. In addition, the mover has been involved in moving NHL and NFL players.
The entire experience of relocation of an mlb team is a big thing. For example, moving the Texas Rangers meant loading up 2 tractor trailers with belongings ranging from baseballs and base bats to sunflower seeds to playpens to motorcycles and taking it all from Arlington, TX to Surprise, AZ. The volume of belongings has increased dramatically over the decades. Both New England Household Moving & Storage and Alexander’s Mobility Services agree that beyond all the thrill and excitement surrounding an mlb team movement, everything remains almost the same as moving any company or a large family.
