Alan Byrd's "Florida Spring Training: Your Guide to Touring the Grapefruit League" is a indispensable guide that gives you the inside scoop on the best spring training camps in Florida.
We discovered what to do before the games, where to find the best seats, best hotdogs, and how get up close to the players for autographs. Spring Training is the highlight of the year for many fans. In Alan Byrd's "Florida Spring Training: Your Guide to Touring the Grapefruit League" we takes us to Central Florida to Kissimmee where we found the Houston Astros. Osceola County Stadium is one of the best stadiums in the Grapefruit League where fans will not find a bad seat in the house. There are plenty of activities for children, and easy access to the players for autographs.
In Alan book he also explains what to expect at each Stadium, whether it has plenty of shade or you can expect to be sun-baked. For fans seeking autographs it can often be difficult to meet the players at certain stadiums. This guide gives you the heads-up on the layout of each stadium, and which ones are fan-friendly verses player-friendly; where fans are keep at a distance.
Autograph Alley at the Osceola County Stadium encourages fans to visit with Astros Players. While over at Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland, Florida you may want to arrive up to four hours because the only place you can get an autograph from a Tiger is in the Front of sections 100 and 101. Arrive early at the practice fields just east of the stadium and you´ll find the players are more likely to sign autographs.
Nothing compares to the sound of baseball cracked off the bat of a major star. A moment later fans are on their feet scrambling to catch it in the stands. This is the exhilarating thrill of the game which Alan hopes each fan will experience with his tips where to sit to get a ball and how easy it can be to snag balls during the players´ practice session. One fan he met mitted five balls on one day.
For the baseball fan, "Florida Spring Training: Your Guide to Touring the Grapefruit League" is an essential guide to make the best of your trip. Alan provides layouts and tips on what to expect at each stadium, the best place to dine, attractions to explore while in the area, and much more. Whether you want to know which stadiums are kid-friendly or are looking for the best programs, Alan´s guide will help you plan a memorable Spring Training trip.
