For Red Sox players, a day off is a precious commodity. Even in a year where baseball teams are being given more rest days, they’re still few and far between amid the 162-game season.
This made a recent project from Red Sox manager of photography Billie Weiss a compelling study. Living what he described as his “dream job” in his role with the Red Sox, Weiss’s concept was to follow players around on a day off to see what their experience outside of baseball was like.
As it turned out, the day chosen for Weiss’s project was a rest day in New York City.
