Philadelphia Phillies pitchers and catchers reported to Clearwater Monday for Spring Training, with their February and March home looking slightly different than it had in past years.
At what is now known as Spectrum Field, MLB.com's Todd Zolecki notes that the Phillies have made some aesthetically pleasing upgrades to the hallway that leads up to their Spring Training home:

The sections listing the Phillies' division and World Series titles are cool, but the wall mural that features World Series heroes Ryan Howard and Tug McGraw, along with McGraw's signature 'Ya Gotta Believe' quote, is probably the coolest part of the new look.
Zolecki also passed along some of the new signs outside of the Carpenter Complex, which features Hall of Famers Mike Schmidt, Robin Roberts, Richie Ashburn and Steve Carlton:
