Spring Training Baseball in Central Florida
Minutes away from the world’s most popular attractions and just an hour from Florida’s famous beaches, spring baseball in Central Florida is your place to be this year!
It’s that time of year again! With the hint of spring comes the promise of sunshine, cool breezes and Spring Training!
This spring will mark the Tigers 74th season at “TigerTown” in Lakeland, extending the longest-standing relationship between a major league team and a current Spring Training host city. The 2010 season also marks the club’s 45th consecutive year of exhibition play at Joker Marchant Stadium. These facts alone solidify Polk County as a true “home base” for baseball lovers. Within an hour’s drive of Lakeland’s Joker Marchant Stadium are six other teams including the New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, Atlanta Braves, Houston Astros and the World Champion Philadelphia Phillies. Because of its central location, Lakeland has become a favorite among baseball fans who want a home base for their Spring Training “tour”.
