MLB 'Truck Day': Teams load up tricycles, clothes, drinks and more for spring training
Pitchers and catchers report any day now but before they arrive, teams need to get the club's equipment in order. Thus, the "Truck Day" tradition continues across Major League Baseball, when teams load up 18-wheelers bound for their spring training homes in Arizona or Florida with everything the clubs will need.
Well, we already knew that relief pitchers are pretty strange. Nothing wrong with good hygiene, though.
