Final Thoughts

Though half of Major League Baseball’s thirty franchises now hold their Spring Training camps in Arizona, that still leaves 15 clubs to make up the Grapefruit League each season.

Those teams — eight from the American League and seven from the National League — maintain a strong tradition of spring Florida baseball, dating all the way back to the end of the 19th century.

So, though players and teams may come and go, and though the game may change, one thing is certain — when the snow flies up north in February, you always know where to find the boys of summer.

They’ll be heading to Florida for another Spring Training.
