Yankees to open Phillies' exhibition schedule
Yankees to open Phillies' exhibition schedule
It seems as if it was only Wednesday night that the World Series ended. And the Yankees had their ticker-tape parade just yesterday.
But it's never too soon to plan those spring-training trips.
The Phils and Yankees will waste no time getting back at it when they face each other to open their Grapefruit League seasons on Thursday, March 4, at Bright House Field in Clearwater, Fla. That opens a 31-game exhibition schedule that will culminate with the annual "On Deck" series at Citizens Bank Park, when the Phillies will host the Pirates on April 2 and 3.
The Phillies and Yankees will meet five times in Florida, three in Clearwater and two in the Yankees' spring home in Tampa.
The Phils' first game in Clearwater will be against Florida State's collegians on March 3, the game that has become the annual exhibition opener.
