One of the things I thought was really cool when I first moved to Florida was how many major league baseball teams have spring training here. In fact both the Florida Marlins and the Tampa Bay Rays also practice spring training here, but at different Florida locations than where they play, for some reason. Florida has been home to spring training since the very beginnings of baseball in America. Tampa holds possibly the oldest record having been home to the Chicago Cubs from over 100 years ago, 1913 until 1916. But all across central Florida you can catch games in the Grapefruit League, as the pros jump around the state warming up for their season.
