Spring training

The Phillies held spring training in 1892 in Gainesville, Florida, the team's first spring in Florida. Twelve members of the team rode the train forty hours from Philadelphia's Broad Street Station to Gainesville.

The team practiced and played exhibition games at The Ballpark. The Phillies lost $469.69 on the trip.[2]

The team subsequently returned to Gainesville for spring training in 1921.
