Book Review: Florida Spring Training

If you'd rather set off on your own quest of Florida's Spring Training experience, you'll want to take along this guide book — Florida Spring Training: Your Guide to Touring the Grapefruit League. While the umpire's first call of "Play ball!" sounds strikingly familiar across Florida's seventeen Spring Training locations, the author points out that is where the similarity ends. Each stadium, whether old or new or recently remodeled, offers a different fan experience. Alan Byrd squeezes every bit of information you'll ever need into an informative, yet interesting compilation of Florida's Spring Training locations, taking the guesswork out of your Spring Training experience.
