As pitchers and catcher get ready to report in 2 days 2 hrs and change we know Spring cannot be far behind. I came across this interesting and totally useless piece of info which I feel compelled to share. Ever wonder what baseball teams ship south in their trucks to Spring Training? I always did and here is one team's (Phillies) list of items... Fourteen thousand four hundred baseballs; 850 bats; 400 batting helmets; 30 dozen red caps; 250 jackets; 2,500 undershirts; 500 pair red socks; 100 pair shower sandals; 300 pair gym trunks; 300 athletic supporters; 200 pair sliding shorts; 2,000 towels; 15,000 paper cups; 10 ice chests; 10 drink coolers; 60 cases of athletic tape; 12 dozen green caps for St Patrick's Day; 1,500 pair baseball pants (road and home); 350 practice uniform tops (red, blue); 18 sets of new catcher's gear; 40 cases of carbohydrate-loaded jelly beans; 24 cases of bubble gum; 24 cases of sunflower seeds; 10 cases (200 pounds) of powdered sport drink mix; 48 12-ounce bottles of pine tar; 50 gallons of pine tar remover; 100 pounds of grass stain soap; 300 pounds of laundry detergent. Now don't we all feel better for knowing
