Cactus League Spring Training

For more than fifty years Arizonans have marked the beginning of spring by the arrival of Major League Baseball. While most of the nation relies on the shadow of a groundhog to predict the arrival of Spring, it's the phrase "pitchers and catchers report" that signals the end of winter in the desert Southwest.

Blue skies along with temperatures ranging from the mid-70s to mid-80s make Arizona the perfect place for MLB Spring Training. It's a place where kids can still meet their favorite stars and collect autographs.
