Rejoice, Phillies fans. After a long offseason, spring training has finally arrived. Pitchers and catchers reported to Bright House Field on Wednesday, and began their first formal workouts yesterday. The full squad of position players will join them early next week.
In just a couple of weeks, the Phils will begin their Grapefruit League schedule. The first game is actually now just ten days away, on Sunday, February 29th against the University of Tampa. Two days after that, on Tuesday, March 1st, the Phils will welcome the Yankees for the first official big league game.
With that, thousands of Fightins’ fans will flood into the Clearwater/St.
