For the first time in the 1946 season, the Phillies made use of airplanes to travel between cities in the regular season. The Phillies chartered two planes and returned to Philadelphia from Chicago following the scheduled June 12 game against the Cubs.[2]
In June 1946, the Cleveland American League club was sold to Bill Veeck and a note soon appeared in the Sporting News that the team was considering a spring training move to Tucson, Arizona for 1947. Paul Ficht, secretary of the Clearwater Chamber of Commerce, along with Mayor J.C. House, and City Manager F.L. Hendrix spoke with the St. Louis Browns, Newark Bears, Kansas City Blues, and Phillies about training in Clearwater in 1947. On July 27, 1946, Hendrix announced that the Phillies had accepted Clearwater's invitation to train at Clearwater Athletic Field in 1947 on a one-year agreement.[3]
