This week, iFollo.com is your source for the best places to encounter the players and fans that have flocked to Arizona and Florida for Major League Baseball spring training.
Today’s focus is the West Valley of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area.
Because so many franchises operate in and around Phoenix, March in the Valley of the Sun is heaven for a baseball fan. 13 teams within 37 miles, it is as simple as that.
The West Valley is the more recently developed portion of the area. Land is less expensive and more available. As a result, nine teams base their operations within this geography.
These teams are: the Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago White Sox, Kansas City Royals, Texas Rangers, San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners, Cleveland Indians, Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers.
