Happy moving day everyone! As we speak the Phils are sending down their equipment to beautiful Brighthouse Networks Field. I think the numbers are incredible. Here’s an estimate off of phillies.com of what’s all going down:

• 15 cases of gum (regular and sugarless)
• 12 cases of sunflower seeds
• 20 coolers and a half pallet of POWERade mix
• 300 helmets
• 350 pairs of shorts
• 450 pairs of socks
• 600 pairs of pants
• 600 hats
• 200 fleeces
• 1,200 bats
• 2,000 T-shirts
• 10,000 12 oz. cups
• 15,000 baseballs
• 150 pairs of batting gloves

I’m especially fond of the 15 cases of gum =]

I love Spring Training. Not only because it brings us that much closer to the regular season, but you also get to see some young guys you wouldn’t normally get to see. (Two of those guys by the way are from Australia!! How cool?!) They’re the future of this organization. Like Ryan Howard. I met him at Spring Training the season he became a Phil. He autographed a ball for me. He’s on there, Jimmy is on it, and a few other guys. Walking to my seat I met a woman who saw the ball and asked me who I got to autograph it. She saw Ryan’s signature and told me to hold on to it, cause he was going to be a great player. And so far, he hasn’t disappointed! It’s a great time to get to see some untapped talent. And it’s only 8 days away!
