There’s something fresh and pure about spring training. Mostly day games, where the intensity is low and so are the prices. Where you can see fundamentals practiced before your eyes. Where players look like they’re having fun. Where there are no luxury boxes, waterfalls, swimming pools, domes or other artificial intrusions on the most natural of games. Where baseball and apple pie still go together.

Only two states are home to spring training baseball – Florida and Arizona. The reason is weather. There are few better places to be in late February and March than those two states. Average temperatures are in the low 80s with very low humidity and very high air quality. Great for casual baseball. And also great for golf.
