This is a big month for us — because, August — as we prep for four new book releases. The first: The Complete Guide to Spring Training 2016 / Florida, which was released yesterday and already appears on a few Amazon.com eBook best-seller lists.
This book covers the best of spring training in Florida, with extensive guides to all the major-league camps, completed with schedules, workout times, concessions highlights, seat recommendations and more. Also included: where to stay near the camps (including RV camps), what to do when not at training camp, and other areas of interest to both hardcore fans and casual attendees.
This ebook is both for the hardcore baseball fan — who goes to spring training to scout out their favorite team in depth — as well as the more casual fan who heads to spring training more in search of the perfect suntan than in search of this year’s spring phenom. While the hardcores just want to know the shortest route between their hotel and the ballpark, the casual fan knows that the richness of spring training is augmented with visits to local restaurants, shopping areas, and area attractions.
This book is arranged by area: the Gulf Coast (where the Boston Red Sox, Minnesota Twins, and Tampa Bay Rays train), greater Tampa Bay (where the Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees, Pittsburgh Pirates, Philadelphia Phillies, and Toronto Blue Jays train), Orlando (where the Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros train), and the Treasure Coast (where the Miami Marlins, New York Mets, St. Louis Cardinals, and Washington Nationals train).
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
- Training information, to plan a trip before the games start
- Information on new and renovated ballparks altered from 2015, including Hammond Stadium
- Travel tips: Low fares at nearby airports, alternative routes (beat the traffic!) and freeway shortcuts
- College games: create your own day-night doubleheaders!
- Points of interest for the baseball history fan
- Changes for spring training 2017
This ebook has been totally updated for spring training 2016, with pricing, ballpark offerings and information updated. Do not buy this book if you want 2016 schedules: they’re not released. But if you want planning information and tips for making those hotel and condo reservations, this guide will be an indispensable guide.
The price: $5.99.
