  • Truck Day Marks Beginning of Journey for Tribe Indians' Longtime Driver
    Truck Day marks beginning of journey for Tribe Indians' longtime driver Fisher has trip down to science to help team prepare for Spring Training By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | @MLBastian | February 3rd, 2017 CLEVELAND -- Ed Fisher looks forward to this day every offseason. The Indians' longtime driver knows that when he pulls out of Progressive Field, his truck emblazoned with Cleveland's logo on the trailer packed to the gills with baseball equipment and more, his journey to Arizona marks the beginning of the Tribe's journey through the season. "I like being a part of it," Fisher said. "I really do." On Friday morning, Fisher and his crew were busy in the bowels of the ballpark, stuffing a pair of 53-foot trucks with items that the Indians require for Spring Training. The trucks were set to embark on the three-day trek to Goodyear, Ariz., where the Tribe's staff is aiming to unload the semis on Tuesday to help the players get started out in the desert. The trucks are filled with bikes, weight-room equipment, personal belongings of players and staff, sunflower seeds, bottled water and much more. There was one pallet of gum, which may or may not have been only for Cleveland manager Terry Francona. When the trucks were nearly full, Francona did have one very important item rolled into the back of one of the trailers. "We need the scooter!" yelled an Indians clubhouse worker. A few minutes later, another team employee zipped through the tunnel on Tito's black moped. Things have changed a lot for the Tribe's clubhouse crew since the days when the team trained in Winter Haven, Fla.
