Nine years ago my grown son dragged me to Phoenix for a weekend spring training visit. I’m a lifelong fan of the Dodgers, but had never done the “spring thing.” However, after one visit, I was hooked. I’ve gone every year since and feel fortunate that my son and his friends seem happy to include me at their annual gathering. The following may include details that you couldn’t care less about, but I’m including them for the benefit of those who have never been and who might be thinking of making the trip one day.
A few points to consider when planning your trip:
- For a number of years, we used to just grab hotel rooms at the last minute based on whatever was available, but that often led to long commutes in order to get from our hotel to Camelback Ranch.
