Jed Lowrie Hits Books at Stanford to Keep Up With Globetrotting Fiancee

Filed under: Red Sox, Spring Training

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- After Monday's third full-squad workout, some of the Red Sox players hit the golf course. Or the pool.

Jed Lowrie opened his laptop, put the finishing touches on a 17-page paper comparing the baseball and football players' unions, and e-mailed it to his Stanford professor.

With that Lowrie completed his last coursework for a degree in political science -- 8 1/2 years after first arriving at Stanford.

"I had invested too much time," Lowrie said Wednesday. "I knew it was going to happen. It was just a matter of finding the right time."
