Former Alabama Outfielder Ben Moore Shares Picture of Team Bus Catching Fire
Baseball fans hear plenty of stories about the grind of minor league baseball. The hotels are light years from five star, the food is average, and you ride the bus everywhere.
Well, at least until the bus breaks down or catches fire.
For former Alabama outfielder Ben Moore and his Greenville Drive teammates, they dealt with the latter. Moore shared the following picture of the bus surrounded by emergency vehicles and another of him walking along the side of the road with the rest of the Drive team.
Greenville, the Class A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, is just beginning a four-game series with Asheville Tourists. Fittingly, Moore and the rest of the Drive will get a tourist's view of the city on the way to their hotel.
Moore, who was selected in the 8th round of the 2014 MLB Draft, has gotten off to a good start in 2015. As the team's catcher, he started the season 4 for 9 with two doubles and three RBI.
