Traveling in style

The Red Sox six representatives to the All-Star Game will be flying from Detroit to San Francisco in style.

Josh Beckett, David Ortiz, Jonathan Papelbon, Manny Ramirez, Mike Lowell and Hideki Okajima will be flying on owner John Henry's private jet, making the trip from Detroit to San Francisco in 4 hours, 7 minutes, according to traveling secretary Jack McCormick.

They will not be using the private jet to return, though. Each player will be on whatever flights they wanted to arrange given family considerations. Each player on the All-Star team receives two first-class tickets from Major League Baseball for their use to travel to and from the event.
