We have some book news to pass along, as The Complete Guide to Spring Training 2024 / Arizona is now available immediately as an eBook, with the paperback available for preorder.
Spring training is a time of new beginnings, when the baseball world preps for another season, as rookies fight for roster spots and veterans prep for another campaign. Every team in spring training has a shot to contend for a title, as life on the diamond begins anew.
The Complete Guide to Spring Training 2024 / Arizona is the updated version of our annual spring-training guides. This book is meant for all types of spring-training fans. Hardcore baseball fans scout their favorite teams and eagerly track every open roster spot. Casual fans head to spring training in search of the perfect Arizona experience, happy to sip a brew at the outfield bar. For the rest of us, a day away from snow and ice is always a good day.
