Spring training starts this week in Tucson! This year, there are 30 games in 30 days as the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Chicago White Sox and the Colorado Rockies get their spring training on. Games start February 27th and run through March 27th.
Games are all at 1:05pm (except the very last game which is at 12:05pm) at the Tucson Electric Park, over at 2500 E Ajo, just off of Kino and Ajo, or at Hi Corbett Field in Ried Park, at 3400 E Camino Campestre.
You can download the spring training schedule here.
I must say, spring training is a great way to spend what may otherwise be a dull afternoon. Our spring weather is typically beautiful. Not that I’d encourage you to skip out on work or anything, but you know, maybe, it might be fun to play hooky and go catch a game. I’m just sayin’.

um, the d-backs and CHICAGO white sox train at the kino complex (TEP park by any other name). the defending NL champions, the colorado rockies, train at hi corbett field in reid park. hi corbett is a more intimate venue for watching spring ball. and more conveniently located for prospective hooky players living in mid-town….

Whoopsie! I was writing that, thinking, when did they move to Colorado? Obviously, I’m more attracted to the hooky angle than the teams themselves…
Thanks for correcting me, I’ve changed the original post to be more accurate now.
