Spring training is one of the most exciting times of the year for baseball fans, where hopeful rookies shine, veterans perfect their game and fans can cheer on their teams before Opening Day. The year is already shaping up to be unforgettable, and for AAA Members, it’s also an opportunity to enjoy exclusive perks that make the experience even better. 

What is spring training?

Spring training is a pre-season tradition where Major League Baseball (MLB) teams head to warm-weather states to prepare for the regular season.

MLB Spring Training is divided into:

  • The Grapefruit League in Florida
  • The Cactus League in Arizona

These leagues not only offer incredible games but also give fans opportunities to meet players, snag autographs and spot the future stars of baseball.
