Happy Truck Day, Phillies fans

Happy Truck Day!

A precursor to Pitchers and Catchers, Truck Day is when the giant truck hauling equipment to Clearwater begins its journey south. Ahead of what may be a brutal snowstorm, the truck will head down Interstate 95 and reach Florida by Friday, when it’ll be unloaded.

Inside? Jocks! And shirts and other equipment. But jocks!

Pitchers and catchers report Monday.

If you’re heading to Clearwater this week for the first sights and sounds, send us your photos and videos!

Tim Malcolm

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
