After a cold, harsh winter, spring training is essential to baseball fans everywhere. Nothing encapsules the renewing spirit of baseball like spring training, when the baseball world preps for another season, when rookies fight for roster spots, and veterans prep for another campaign. Every team in spring training has a shot to contend for a title, as life on the diamond begins anew.

This book is meant for all types of spring-training fans. Hardcore baseball fans scout their favorite teams and eagerly track every open roster spot. Casual fans head to spring training in search of the perfect Arizona experience, happy to sip a brew at the outfield bar. For the rest of us, a day away from snow and ice is always a good day.

This book covers the 15 Cactus League teams playing out of 10 training camps: American Family Fields of Phoenix (Milwaukee Brewers), Camelback Ranch-Glendale (Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers), Goodyear Ballpark (Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Guardians), Hohokam Stadium (Oakland Athletics), Peoria Stadium (San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners), Salt River Fields at Talking Stick (Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies), Scottsdale Stadium (San Francisco Giants), Sloan Park (Chicago Cubs), Surprise Stadium (Kansas City Royals, Texas Rangers), and Tempe Diablo Stadium (Los Angeles Angels). Also included: Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, and the two ballparks housing the major college programs in Phoenix: Arizona State University and Grand Canyon University. For those who follow their teams: exhibition games in Las Vegas. 

Each chapter features:

  • Best seats in each ballpark, whether you want comfort, shade, accessibility or autographs
  • Ballpark tips
  • Must-sees before and after the games, including local baseball attractions and sports bars
  • Training information, to plan a trip before the games start
  • Information on new and renovated ballparks
  • Travel tips: Low fares at nearby airports, alternative routes (beat the traffic!) and freeway shortcuts
