Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
It seems like every November we swear off baseball for good, only to find ourselves excited four months later when the whole thing starts up again. This year’s respite between seasons is almost over. Pitchers and catchers reported last week, most teams’ first full workouts take place today, and from there it’s a scant six days until Cactus League play begins.
It’s probably just our love of warm weather, but the idea of baseball always seems fresh and exciting to us this time of year. If you’re like us, you’ll probably check out this year’s “Play Ball: The Cactus League Experience” exhibit at the Arizona Historical Society Museum at Papago Park. The show features photos and memorabilia commemorating one of Arizona’s finest and longest-running traditions.
Tuesdays-Sundays. Starts: Feb. 20. Continues through March 31, 2011
