Continuing its partnership with the league and MLB teams across the country, Old Dominion Freight Line, along with fans and players, celebrated the start of a new season during the traditional spring training sendoff known as the name Moving Day, according to a press release.
The LTL company has once again partnered with the New York Mets, Los Angeles Angels and Kansas City Royals for Moving Day and the 2018 season.
