 Nothing compliments Arizona’s beautiful spring weather better
than Cactus League Baseball. Each and
every year, Spring Training in Arizona
attracts thousands of local residents and winter visitors to all 9 of its
ballparks for an “up-close” look at Major League Baseball.
-
- Spring-training
was firmly established in the early part of the 1900’s, however, it never made
its way to Arizona
until 1947. Horace Stoneman (then owner of the New York Giants) and Bill
Veeck (then owner of the Cleveland Indians), had property and business
interests in the Tucson/ Phoenix area and helped bring Spring Training
to the state. Like Florida’s
Grapefruit League, many small Arizona
communities would soon be known across the nation thanks to the allure of Major
League Baseball.
-
- Spring
baseball
in Arizona
has
never
skipped a beat, as the Cactus League has now grown to 9 ballparks hosting 12 Major League
Baseball Teams. The Cactus League has
continued to grow in popularity each and every season. Perhaps, the opportunity to buy cheap tickets,
watch some great games, see some great players, and get up close and personal
with the athletes has contributed to this trend.
