Spring training is a time of new beginnings, as the baseball world preps for another season. Hope is in the air, with rookies fighting for roster spots and veterans prepping for another campaign. Every team in spring training contends for a title, as life on the diamond begins anew.
In Florida, spring training is when hardcore baseball fans scout their favorite teams and eagerly track every open roster move. Casual fans head to the ballpark in search of the perfect Florida experience, happy to sip a brew at the outfield bar. This 240-page book is for both kinds of fans.

This book does not contain schedules, as 2020 spring-training schedules are not yet released. In 2018 schedules were released around Labor Day for spring training 2019, but that’s no guarantee they will be released at the same time in 2019 for spring training 2020. Buy the print edition now and we’ll ship it with schedules when they are released. In addition, we’ll update the eBook with schedules when they are released.
