In 2004 ...the trophy came to the Ted museum in Ocala..(before the move to ughh Tropicana Field)

Either I was not paying attention or did not know list of cities ..appearances ...timing etc..

So I missed it..Does anyone know if there is going to be an appearance list put out by the Sox?...or if there would be plans for certain times at ST to have your picture taken?..Living in Fla makes it difficult to make it to any event in NE...

Are they definitely doing that again?

I stumbled upon it myself in '04 (in LA -- happened to be driving by Sonny McLean's and saw the line down the block).

They've indicated that they would take it around. but, I don't know the extent of their plans.

it was on capital hill yesterday but was not publicized at all - a couple of people I know went and said that the line was incredibly long.

We here in Nova Scotia are actively campaigning for the Red Sox to bring it our way this time. We missed out in 04 but hope that we can get the honour of a visit this time.

I hope they bring it down to the DC metro area again - this time not just for the Mass delegation but for the rest of the Redsox Nation down here...that would be sweet. Is there a list of places and dates the trophy will be somewhere?

It will be in Halifax on Jan 8-9, so we expect Scotian to take the drive down there to represent RSN!



Baseball’s holy grail on way to Halifax

Colchester-Musquodoboit Valley MLA Brooke Taylor, who worked the Bluenose Bosox Brotherhood fan club to convince the team to include the province on the trophy’s tour, said Tuesday the visit will include a stop in Province House’s Red Room.

"I understand the trophy will be here at Red Sox red room, and we’re probably going to have the trophy here at the legislature for an hour and a half," the diehard Sox fan said Tuesday.

Mr. Taylor said it looks like the trophy will be here Jan. 8 and 9.

He said he doesn’t think any current players will make the trip, but a former player might. Mr. Taylor said the names kicking around include former pitchers Bill (Spaceman) Lee and Jim Lonborg.

Snow Starts, Traffic Problems Follow

The Boston Red Sox postponed its World Series trophy tour including stops at the State Capitol and New Haven City Hall today, due to weather conditions. A new date has yet to be set.

Wussies. How hard is it to drive in the snow? To use one of Gordon Ramsay's favorite quotes, "MOVE YOUR ARSE!!!"



I guess I'll have to wait until later to get a peak at the trophy...

World Series trophy coming to Vermont

Kelley Bouchard - Fans line up to feel glow from World Series prize; Baseball's top trophy draws Red Sox devotees who are undeterred by the report on steroids.

Nearly 1,000 Boston Red Sox fans stopped by Hadlock Field on Friday to see the 2007 World Series Championship trophy.
Only one was allowed to touch it.

Zain Mitchell, who is visually impaired, ran his fingers over the cold metal. It was a dream come true for the 60-year-old Scarborough man, who has been a Red Sox fan since boyhood.

"I felt the flags on it and the posts," he said. "It was fantastic. I think I left my fingerprints on it."

The gold-and-silver trophy, which the team won in October, was on public display for the first time in Maine from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday.

Bob Kinzel - Red Sox trophy arrives in Montpelier

Yes, our fan group, the Bluenose BoSox Brotherhood, was actively involved in helping make this happen along with great help from the N.S. Gov't and the U.S. Consulate. Also it is needless to say a big thanks goes out to the Red sox as well who recognize the large fanbase they have here in Canada's Ocean Playground!It is going to be a great two days. You can check out the details at our BBB website: http://www.bluenosebosoxbrotherhood.zoomshare.com/ or the Red Sox press release:

I promise we will have lots of pictures of the event. The neat thing is that I get to travel on the "Official Bus" as well.

Here is Saturday's story from the Halifax Daily News on the Trophy tour:

Joseph Shepherd - Christmas comes early: Sox bring series trophy to Maine

Backed by a number of former Sea Dogs that played right here in Southern Maine, including Rookie of the Year Dustin Pedroia, Gold Glove winner Kevin Youkilis, Jacoby Ellsbury, Manny Delcarmen and Jonathan Papelbon in the bullpen and Jon Lester, who clinched the win in the final game of this year’s World Series after he defeated cancer just the year before, the Red Sox swept the Colorado Rockies to win the 2007 World Series, their second championship win four years.

Let the celebrations begin. Again.

Edes' Baseball notes 12/30
Rooting for the Red Sox is their province, too

Just one correction to Mr. Edes piece, t'was I who did the biography on Fred Lake and it was for SABR( about 6,000 words) but never published as a book. That being said we thank him for the nice piece recognizing the great number of Sox fans in our province. All in all, the NS Gov't, the U.S. Consulate and most of all the Red sox are responsible for what we consider a great honour. We as the BBB just lined up the pieces of the puzzle so they could fit together.

Here is the itinerary for the visit to Halifax:

Monty Mosher - World Series trophy visits Halifax

Halifax became the capital of Red Sox Nation on Monday.

Through the dogged efforts of the 125-member Bluenose BoSox Brotherhood, the World Series championship trophy won by the Boston Red Sox over the Colorado Rockies in October began a 28-hour swing through metro that ends Tuesday afternoon with a stop at a Dartmouth shopping centre.

Once again, Charlotte is left off the list.

While bringing the trophy to Nova Scotia was a real team effort, BBB charter members Jim Prime of New Minas, Dave Ritcey of Kentville and Don Hyslop of Kingston were tireless in their efforts and deserve a lot of credit for the visit becoming a reality.

Alex J. Walling - Sox bring World Series Trophy to Halifax



The Brotherhood wanted the Sox to include Nova Scotia on its publicity caravan. Many calls were made and the provincial government and the U.S. Consulate got involved in this international venture.

"We fought hard to get them up here," he says.

Chuck Steedman, the Vice President of the Red Sox, is the executive who accompanied the trophy

"Had I known that there was this kind of affection and loyalty to the Red Sox, we would have been here earlier (like in 2004)," Steedman said.

Fans across this country either forget, or simply don't realize the ties between Halifax and Boston. As the baseball cry states, "it's going, back, way, way back…"

Stephen Burn - Spilled water helps bring BoSox trophy; U.S. consul general a man of his word





It's hard to believe a spilled glass of water would lead to the Boston Red Sox's 2007 World Series trophy making its way to Nova Scotia, but it's true.

Don Hyslop and other members of the province's Bluenose Bosox Brotherhood decided to try and persuade the world champs to send the biggest prize in baseball to Halifax shortly after they won the Series last November.





Philip Croucher - 'Better than 10 Christmas mornings' ; Red Sox fans giddy at sight of cherished World Series trophy


The Bluenose Bosox Brotherhood hosted last night's private function for its membership, which has grown by about 60 per cent to almost 200 since they announced in the late fall they had the Red Sox agree to bring the World Series trophy to Halifax for a two-day visit.

The trophy arrived in Halifax yesterday afternoon, and had stops at city hall, Province House, and a private party hosted by Harold Foster, the Consul General of the United States.

Monty Mosher - Champs for a day; World Series trophy makes it to N.S. even before the White House

Premier Rodney MacDonald welcomed officials from the Red Sox and members of the Nova Scotia BoSox fraternity. He later posed for photos with Red Sox mascot Wally the Green Monster and accepted a red warm-up top from the Red Sox.

"Many Nova Scotians consider the Red Sox to be our home team," MacDonald said to a raucous ovation. "Love of the Sox is just one of the many ties that bind Nova Scotians to the people of Massachusetts."

...

Kingston’s Don Hyslop, one of the founders of the brotherhood and a Red Sox fan since his first trip to Fenway in 1962, said he pushed so hard his wife joked that the Sox would eventually block his e-mail.

He waited for the trophy at Halifax Stanfield International Airport with 100 fans. When the trophy was brought out of its case for the public, even a few fans of the hated New York Yankees passing through customs wanted to be photographed with the prize.

"How do you describe a dream come true?" Hyslop said at the reception.

Don Hyslop, the co-founder of the Brotherhood, admitted that they had to resort to tactics verging on harassment to get the Red Sox onside.

"We inundated them with e-mails," he said. "My wife joked that they'd put a block on my e-mail address. All we could do was try to convince them it would be a worthy trip, that we had a fan base here who'll be very appreciative."

It worked.

Hyslop was up early yesterday, nervously checking the weather reports. The flight was a bit late and he was at the airport in plenty of time to see the trophy carried through the terminal. It had been uncrated at customs, he said, and "even Yankees fans" wanted to take pictures as it went past.

The Trophy is coming to New York City, at Professor Thom's, on Friday night, January 11th at about 7 PM. The bar is on 2nd Avenue between E. 13th and E. 14th Streets in the Village. The folks from Bombo Films, who are shooting a documentary about the 2007 team (they also did "Still We Believe" about the 2003 season) will be on hand.

More details will follow. You can check out my site or my buddy Chris' site for updates too.

The trip to Nova Scotia was a huge success. There was a crowd at the airport to welcome them to N.S. The visit to the Legislature in Halifax is described in this link.
http://www.thechronicleherald.ca/Sports/1009849.html


The visit to the U.S. Consulate was a special monent as well with both Americans who have served their country abroad and Canadians sharing in the joy of the Trophy being in Halifax. The first night was finished off with 200 BBB members and guests hosting the Red Sox in a Halifax eatery named fittingly Boston Pizza. Today was unbelievable. It started early with a visit to a Children's Hospital where young patients, parents and staff not only got up close with the Trophy but also had a chance to try on Mr. Steedman's ring and give Wally a big hug. There were many moments that touched the heartstrings of all of us that were part of this tour. As someone said we had a visit to the Nova Scotia Sports Hall of Fame where over 1000 people got to get their photos done with the trophy. We were then on to a school in an economically disadvantaged area of the city where 200 young students fell in love with Wally and where our BBB goup donated $1000 worth of new books to the school's library in honor of the Sox's visit. Our final stop on the tour was to the area's largest mall where people lined the route to the trophy for around 2 hrs of photo taking.
The event made the National news in Canada and was covered by 3 major television networks.

Series Trophy Coming To State Friday

The trophy will be on display at New Haven City Hall from 10 to 11 a.m., then at the State Capitol in Hartford between 2:15 and 4 p.m., on the first floor in the rotunda.

I'm going to the see the trophy tonight in NYC. I was just wondering if they are allowing full on molesting thereof. Or, just soft petting?

Jeff Goldberg - Objects Of Their Affection; Lucchino Offers Exhibits A & B As Evidence Of New Era For Red Sox

Larry Lucchino is all Boston nowadays, but he's still a Yale man. His alma mater was one of several stops Lucchino made Friday in Connecticut, his two Red Sox World Series trophies in tow.

Perhaps better than anyone in the Red Sox front office, Lucchino can appreciate the perspective of the Red Sox fan in the Land of Steady Habits and split loyalties; a mind-set where the only thing better than a Sox victory is a Yankees defeat.

In the 21st century, it is the Red Sox with more World Series titles than the Yankees, or any other team. The Red Sox won their second title in four years in October. That brought another World Series trophy tour to Connecticut, another chance to celebrate beating the Yankees in their own backyard.

Here are some Photos from the NYC appearance:





And more here, here, and here.

Now, on to Bangor and Orono...

Andrew Neff - '07 Series trophy to be displayed in Bangor, Orono

The trophy will be displayed to the general public at the University of Maine’s Alfond Arena between 1:30 and 4 p.m. Monday. It will also be on display at WZON’s annual Hot Stove Baseball Night at the Bangor Civic Center, starting at 5:30 p.m. The session at UMaine is free, but the Hot Stove Night is an exclusive event open only to those with tickets.

"We had already talked to the Red Sox about getting the trophy here on the 21st for our Hot Stove night," said WZON program director Dale Duff. "And from late December on, we’ve been talking to [Governor John Baldacci’s] people.

"We knew all along we wanted to make it available to the public, so we’ve been working with the governor’s office to put it on display somewhere because we knew we could only fit 500 into the civic center."

The trophy will also be on display for members of the Maine National Guard and families of soldiers earlier in the day.

"I appreciate the Red Sox for keeping our soldiers and their families in mind when bringing this piece of history to Maine," Baldacci said in a press release. "This will be a memorable day for sports fans."

Anne Ravana - Red Sox trophy in Black Bear territory

Throughout the afternoon, the line to view the trophy wrapped around the inside perimeter of the building and briefly stretched outside into the parking lot, according to Red Sox security supervisor John McDermott. Many people popped their heads in just to catch a quick glimpse of the trophy, which sat atop a table in the lobby.

"It’s an honor to be here with the trophy in a building that is named for and dedicated to Harold Alfond," McDermott said. "He was a wonderful man."

Any news on when the trophy will be in Ft. Myers for spring training? I saw a few places online that said it'd be down my way Feb. 23rd but now I can't find any info on it at all. Sorry if I didn't search guys. Its my first post and I can't search yet. I've just done some quick searching on the main page.
