Play Ball! Why Spring Training Should Be on Your 2025 Travel Bucket List

I know it’s technically still football season, and everyone’s busy perfecting their recipes for the ultimate tailgate, but for me, baseball is where it’s at.


The Magic of Baseball

Two little words—“Play Ball!”—are all it takes to transport me to summer evenings at my hometown minor league ballpark. I’m surrounded by the comforting smells of barbecue, peanuts, churros, and yes, a frosty beer in hand. The crowd roars as we cheer for a strikeout (because half-off beer is on the line!), and the night ends with a fireworks show that dazzles the crowd, courtesy of the local water company.

This scene isn’t unique to me—it’s happening all over America in towns lucky enough to host minor league baseball. Now imagine taking that experience to the next level: Spring Training!


Spring Training: Baseball Paradise

Whether it’s the Grapefruit League in Florida or the Cactus League in Arizona, Spring Training is a dream destination for any baseball fan. Watching your favorite teams prepare for the upcoming season under the warm sun? Yes, please!
