Phillies Stars Go To Disney World Together Before Spring Training (PICS)

Baseball is so close.  So close that Phillies stars go to Disney World together before Spring Training starts.  J.T. Realmuto, Aaron Nola, Zach Eflin and Zack Wheeler took their families to Disney World ahead of Spring Training starting in Clearwater.  As we know, Zach Eflin was a Phillie for a while and left after the 2022 season. He now plays for the Tampa Bay Rays.  It's nice that he's still friends with the rest of the guys.

Red October doesn't feel that long ago.  We really thought another World Series appearance was going to happen after the loss to the Astros in the World Series in 2022, but then they went and had a heartbreaking seven-game defeat to the Diamondbacks in last year's NLCS.  Remember they were hitting everything and then the bats went cold?  It's almost like what happened to the Eagles. They were hot and then they weren't and no one seems to know what happened.

The Phillies didn't make too many changes in the off-season.  They re-signed ace Aaron Nola to a seven-year deal, and they also extended manager Rob Thomson through 2025.  Craig Kimbrel, who people weren't happy with after his playoff performance, went to the Orioles and our beloved Rhys Hoskins went to the Brewers after the Phillies informed him they were sticking with Bryce Harper at 1st base.

Here are the Phillies Spring Training details:

A Phillies fan posted on Twitter that they saw them and asked for a pic!  We spotted them! This is outside Pirates of the Caribbean. They were super nice and took a photo with me and my son. We were so stoked!

It seems that the Phillies City Connect Jersey may have leaked on the internet and fans have a lot to say about it. If you scroll down, you can see what many believe to be the leaked jersey, make sure to let us know what you think!

In the very first year of the City Connect jersey, we saw seven teams rep their city in a different way. The Arizona Diamondbacks, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, Miami Marlins, and the San Francisco Giants all flashed their new looks in the very first season. The intention of these jerseys is to pay homage to the hometown of the team in a special way.

In 2022, we got the look from more teams including the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Kansas City Royals, Colorado Rockies, Los Angeles Angels, Milwaukee Brewers, and the San Diego Padres.

Then this past season, we saw new jerseys from the Atlanta Braves, Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners, Cincinnati Reds, Baltimore Orioles, and Pittsburgh Pirates.

So what about the rest of the teams? Well, that's when the 2024 season comes into play. 20 teams have already released their new looks, which only leaves ten more teams to go, one of them being the Phillies. But as you will learn, if you're bringing a new one in, one has to go.

Phillies Nation informed us of a special rule that Nike has. They explained that "Nike has a '4+1' rule, meaning they will produce four jerseys per team, and five if the fifth is a City Connect uniform.

So let's look at the four jerseys that the Phillies will be wearing in the 2024 season and then the fifth and final one being the rumored City Connect jersey that will be worn this season as well. In addition, to which jersey will NOT be worn to follow the Nike rule stated above.

The iconic home look for our Philadelphia Phillies is the pinstripes. Just a classic video for the South Philly team, you know it and you love it. So this ain't going anywhere because it's just too classic.

This also has ties to the team's history. A great home alternate jersey that has always been very popular with the fans. Also, not going anywhere anytime soon!

Keep this amazing color in the roster. This is quite frankly my favorite look for the Phillies. What an amazing color, it's about time I spring the cash for a jersey. So fresh!

This is a classic away jersey look you see across Major League Baseball. It does the job. Don't LOVE it but also every team has and needs just a classic away gray look. This is ours!

This will be DROPPED this season to make room for the rumored City Connect jersey you can see below. This is according to Sports Illustrated.

A Phillies jersey was found on eBay has fans are questioning if this is the 2024 City Connect jersey that bumped the red one out of rotation. And if it is, not sure fans are embracing it the way that team wanted the city to. Even Sports Illustrated wrote about the possible leak.
