## Resource

The Phillies’ 2025 season kicks off March 25 in Washington—but only if baseball avoids a lockout. With the current labor deal expiring Dec 1, owners threaten to shut down the season if no agreement is reached by mid-March. Tensions are high as players and owners clash over contracts, livelihoods, and the soul of the game. But if talks succeed, fans get a stacked slate: home opener vs. Nationals April 1, Dodgers in late April, Mike Trout’s Angels in May, plus games on Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day—with the season closing Sept 26 at home against the Nats. All hinges on whether baseball can resolve its labor crisis before the season starts. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
