Hmmm the San Francisco Giants are part of the spring training Cactus Leagues. Now I’ve got some thinking to do. Earlier I’d been thinking of going to see another team play during spring training but now that I know that the San Francisco Giants are part of the same training league I might change my plans and watch a few of their games instead.
See, we’ve been planning a trip for the new year. We might get together with my brother and Tricia’s brother- they are both huge baseball fans, so what better way to get together for a vacation than to go to Arizona and watch some of the spring training games? I think it’s a fantastic idea.
Ah ha! I’ve just discovered that they are actually playing against the Chicago cubs in Hohokam Park, Mesa Arizona on March 1st. We can see both of the teams that we’re interested in watching play against each other if we plan our trip for early March. This is fantastic. I must see about getting the Giants Spring Training tickets soon. I’ve already planned to try to get tickets in section 116 Row A because those seats are in the first row just past third base. Otherwise we’ll try for seats in section 115, row A as those are in the first row as well, just past first base on the Cubs side. Either would be great considering we’re going with both Cubs and Giants fans.
I must go and make plans!
I know I’m a bit late to the subject but there is nothing better than attending a spring training baseball game. Notice I said attending. The action will not be great and the stars will be in the game for only a short time. But you can get up close – although the Cubs are VERY popular in Arizona and tickets can be tough to get. Everything is very casual and much cheaper than big league ballparks. So for anyone thinking about it – spring training baseball is well worth it!
