So You Want To Be a Scout?

From WEEI.com’s excellent piece on how the Red Sox found Junichi Tazawa:

↵“I had to walk back down the mountain for about four miles in freezing cold conditions with gloves, a balaclava and snow jacket,” he recounted. “At the bottom of the mountain, I found a convenience store, [and] I had the lady in there book me a taxi.”↵Mmmm. Balaclava.
