2010 SPRING TRAINING SEASON - WELCOME!

Submitted by Arizona Key on Tue, 2010-03-02 01:32

On behalf of everyone at Arizona Key Magazine, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Arizona, the Grand Canyon state. The month of March is dominated by baseball... it’s Spring Training season and Arizona welcomes visitors from around the world to this annual right of passage. Prepare yourself for plen- ty of warm sunshine, green grass and some exciting, exhibition Major League baseball action

STADIUMS

As our cover proclaims, Spring Training 2010 welcomes fans from Cincinnati and the Big Red Machine! This year Arizona will welcome 15 teams playing in 11 different facilities throughout the Phoenix and Tucson areas.

Spring Training offers baseball fans a unique opportunity. The venues are state of the art and provide for intimate, up close and personal viewing. The players are more accessible, all of the teams are tied for first place, and hope springs eternal.

It all starts here at Spring Training, where practice and game play will help the “boys of summer” endure the season and hopefully earn a spot in the “fall classic”.

Helping you navigate the Cactus League is hall of fame sport’s writer Charlie Vascellaro. Through his cover story and team previews, you’ll be guided thru the Spring Training season with substantive information delivered with Charlie’s brilliant flair.

When not at the games, I encourage you to explore your desert surroundings. Arizona's natural beauty begins with rugged mountains, Saguaro cactus towering over adventure trails, pink and orange sunsets you thought you only read about in Western novels, and all within steps from the most luxurious resorts. Play over 200 golf courses, soothe the body and soul in spas. Dip into a cool pool. Watch jackrabbits chase the morn- ing sunrise. Dine on roasted chicken enchiladas, pecan crusted lamb, grilled filet to shrimp ceviche and more as culinary treats are found in every neighborhood. And afterwards, stroll under stars you actually see twinkle. There's no place on earth quite like the Grand Canyon State.
