Default Spring Training Baseball

I will be visiting for the month of March. I want to get tickets for spring training baseball games and need to know what the closest major league baseball stadiums are.

Atlanta Braves play in Orlando at Disney Wide World of Sports Complex.
Here's a link to the schedule. We're from NY and my husband is a big METS fan so we usually catch them in March.

Yankees have their spring training in Tampa at Steinbrenner Field.

Boston Red Sox are in Fort Myers, about 3 1/2 hour drive (but worth it!!!).

Here's a complete list of Grapefruit league teams and spring training locations with a map. Should help.

Default Spring Training Online

It looks as if not all the Spring Training schedules are published yet but I find this to be the best for Spring Training info:

Default Just a heads up....

FYI...this year is a World Baseball Classic year Mar. 7th to the 19th, so I would recommend seeing games right before the 7th or after the 19th.

The reason is that many of the stars of your team play in the WBC and Spring Training games tend to have a lot of scrubeenies playing during those 2 weeks!!

Otherwise, if you're a baseball fan, you'll love Spring training here!!!!

Default Phillies vs. Yankees

Heading to Clearwater to see the Phils and the Bronx Bombers on the 26th while in TV for a week. Looking forward to it with two of my favorite girls in tow.
Can hardly wait!
