On one of the coldest days of the year in Boston with the temperature barely rising above 15 degrees, Red Sox players left their warm homes in Arizona and Florida to tour Boston as part of a winter caravan in which they met Bostonians and New Englanders throughout the day.

“Oh man is it cold,” said catcher David Ross, from Tallahassee, Fla. “But a lot of fun. Never really got to see all of Boston the last time I was here, but it’s very enjoyable meeting all the people. Looking forward to spending time here.”
