Today is a day that only a baseball fan can love, Truck Day. The day that the Houston Astros pack up their equipment, workout gear and clubhouse snacks in a moving truck and ship it off to Kissimmee, FL for Spring Training.

As you can see the truck is branded with Astros owner Jim Crane's company, Crane Cartage Freight Service.
Truck Day is equivalent of moving an army across four state lines. The team has to have the bats and equipment for 60-plus players and the corresponding number of coaches.
