Phillies Truck

Believe it or not – yes, it’s hard to think about baseball during a Super Bowl run for the ages– but the return of Philadelphia Phillies baseball is right around the corner. 

The unofficial start of 2025 Spring Training is set for Monday, February 3, when the Phillies load a tractor trailer full of gear and send it to Clearwater, Florida. Phillies Truck Day is often celebrated with Phillie Phanatic and local TV stations filling airtime by counting the cases of sunflower seeds that are headed to Florida. It does make for compelling TV, after all, who wouldn’t want to know that 10,000 paper cups and 2,400 baseballs will be traveling down I-95 to Florida’s gulf coast! The trucks will arrive at BayCare Ballpark on February 7.

Now that we’ve got the Phillies Truck Day information out of the way, here’s a look at additional key dates for 2025 Philadelphia Phillies Spring Training in Clearwater.
