PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The Eagles Super Bowl victory celebration has cast a large shadow over the team that plays across Pattison Avenue as the Phillies made their first move to Florida and Spring training on Friday.
They’ve been packing for the past couple months. Friday morning, Phillies Manager of Equipment and Umpire Services Dan O’Rourke and his team loaded everything onto a 53 foot truck.
“Bats, baseballs, T-shirts, hats, helmets, towels, cups, pine tar, equipment bags, anything that we’re gonna need in Clearwater,” said O’Rourke.
Along with many of the comforts of home, such as golf clubs, bicycles, strollers, and playpens.
