The Phillies won’t play meaningful baseball as a collective unit until March 26, but fans don’t have to wait that long to see some of the individuals take the field on a pretty big stage in its own right. The World Baseball Classic begins on March 5 — the day after the Phillies host Team Canada in Clearwater — and the Phillies are sending quite a few to baseball’s biggest international competition.
