With players reporting to training camp this week, it’s the beginning of the 2017 baseball season. Don’t forget about our many spring-training resources.
First: our Spring Training Online website. It’s packed full of spring training information, workout times, reporting dates, broadcast information and more.
Second: sign up for the Spring Training Online newsletter. It comes out twice a week and brings you stories before they are posted to the site. Today, for example, we have information on the new security enhancements spring-training fans will need to navigate in 2017.
Third: Buy a spring-training guide! You can look for more information about our 2017 spring-training guides here.
There will be a lot of news generated this spring on the ballpark front. First, you have the opening of The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches as the new spring home of the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros. Second, you have massive renovations to Joker Marchant Stadium and Steinbrenner Field, and we’ll have updates from both facilities. And then there will be smaller upgrades, such as the installation of new shading at Roger Dean Stadium. We’ll be at all these facilities this spring, as well as multiple Cactus League ballparks in Arizona.
