Red Sox trophy hits the road to Connecticut

The Boston Red Sox World Series trophy made a field trip today ... to Connecticut.

The trophy was in Nova Scotia, Canada, on Monday and taken to locations there on Tuesday. The trophy also visited Vermont last month.

But don't fear, Rhode Island Sox fans. Pam Ganley, a Red Sox spokeswoman, said by email today that the plan is to visit Rhode Island with the trophy. "We have been in touch with the governor's office and will likely have an event in April in conjunction with the Pawtucket Red Sox," Ganley's email said.

Larry Luchino, team president and chief executive officer, led a group of team officials traveling from Fenway Park to the Nutmeg State today "in order to thank Connecticut fans for their support during the 2007 season," according to a news release by Gov. M. Jodi Rell's office.
Rell's office said the trophy tour in Connecticut was slated for Dec. 13, but a winter storm that day postponed the visit.

According to a report by WTNH-TV Channel 8, no players are part of the Connecticut tour.

Connecticut residents -- and Rhode Islanders who happen to be in the area -- can see the trophy from 2:15 to 4 p.m. in Hartford in the first-foor rotunda of the state Capitol building. The trophy was slated to already have been on display in New Haven from 10 to 11 a.m.
