Before the pitchers and catchers, before the fringe-roster positional battles, before the inevitable spring training breakout and the veteran in the best shape of his life — and hey, before the Super Bowl, for those in need of a distraction — there is Truck Day.
That will be Monday, the Phillies announced. Fans can watch three jam-packed 28-foot trailers leave Citizens Bank Park for BayCare Ballpark ahead of spring training and the Feb. 11 pitchers and catchers report date.
The festivities will start bright and early on Monday, with the vehicles arriving to the stadium at 6:15 a.m. They’ll be loaded at 8 a.m., before leaving on Pattison Avenue at 11:40, heading up Broad Street and stopping for a photo op at 18th and Market. Then, on to Florida.
The vehicles, per the Phillies, will contain 10,000 paper cups, 2,400 baseballs, 2,000 shirts, 1,200 bats, 900 pairs of socks, 600 pairs of pants, 600 batting practice hats, 350 pairs of shorts, 300 batting gloves, 250 batting practice tops, 200 fleeces, 200 light jackets, 140 batting helmets, 125 belts, 75 pairs of spike, plastic and turf shoes, 40 heavy jackets, 20 coolers and a few bikes.
Bonus points to anyone who counts them all and sends us a correction.
