CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Only a 2,000-mile voyage stands between the Indians and the dawn of another spring.

The Indians' two 53-foot equipment trucks departed Cleveland on Friday. They will arrive in Goodyear, Ariz., either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. By late Wednesday afternoon, the staff will have the team clubhouse up and running, just a week before pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report for the new season.

"It's a big day for Cleveland fans to have a sign of spring coming," said Tribe clubhouse manager Tony Amato. "With the weather and everything, I think it's great for everyone here."

The trucks deliver gear for each player and coach and any personal items members of the team want shipped. Also on board are 12 pallets of water, one pallet full of plastic bottles of Bertman's Ball Park Mustard, about 25 sets of golf clubs, more than 30 bikes, exercise equipment and car seats. Corey Kluber even had a high chair sent across the country.

The staff placed all of its orders in October and November and spent the month of January organizing and preparing all of the packaging.

"I know we had over 50-some skids," Amato said. "It's probably a record. It seems like we were really heavy going down this year for some reason."

Baseballs -- more than 1,500 dozen of them -- were delivered on Thursday.

"Hopefully that lasts us through camp," Amato said.

Each position player receives between 18-24 bats. Some were shipped to Cleveland, where the clubhouse staff marked and labeled each for the specific player.

Amato said the strangest item he ever packed onto the truck was a safe, requested by a former member of the coaching staff. Of course, for the third straight year, the staff also shipped Terry Francona's red scooter.

"There's not anything unique that stands out this year," Amato said.

Pitchers and catchers report to Goodyear on Feb. 18.
