If you haven't heard, the Phillies will be back in town next week (January 18-22)...
Beginning Monday, January 19th, the team will participate in a number of promotional events, hold live player/manager chats and appear at "hot stove" banquets across the Delaware Valley. The annual banquet circuit is scheduled about a month before the start of Spring Training and is sure to get fans back in the mood for small ball.
While the names are not as recognizable as in past off-seasons, even casual fans will recognize Aaron Nola and Aaron Altherr, who in addition to their positions on the banquet dais will be popping up at various events in the city, too. If you're unable to attend one of the dinners, make sure to check out the other locations they will appear throughout the week. Collectors will want to take note to a free autograph signing with Nola in the Citizens Bank Park, Majestic Store on Wednesday.
