Before the trash from the Eagles Super Bowl parade even had a chance to join the nearest garbage herd and assimilate to its new life in Philadelphia, the Phillies held a little parade of their own. It was one truck long, its route was over 1,000 miles, and nobody came to watch it.
It’s called Truck Day, and until this year, it was typically held behind a cacophony of grumbling about the devastation and/or sadness of another Eagles season. But not this time. The Phillies sent their equipment truck to Clearwater from a city rejuvenated for sports even though, yes, the Flyers are still in-season.
