Marion County is in prime position to sample the offerings of the Florida Grapefruit League, and The Sports Blog is proud to present a guide to doing just that.
This interactive map contains all you need to know to enjoy each of the 18 Major League Baseball teams that make their spring home within a few hours of our own Marion County. You can play around with the version above a little bit, but click the link for the suggested full-screen experience.
Once you're there, click on the logo of your team of choice. You'll get a pop-up box with a picture of the team's stadium, more detailed information on their home field, ticket prices, a home schedule and a seating chart. Click the bold, blue links to get further details or to go ahead and buy your tickets. At the very bottom of the box, you can enter your starting address for turn-by-turn directions to the stadium. If you plan on buying tickets at the game rather than in advance, I'd suggest you call ahead and make sure they're still available and that the schedule hasn't changed.
Hope this is a tool you'll find useful throughout the next couple of months. As of this writing in late January, tickets were on sale for all but a couple of the teams, and going quickly for the likes of the Red Sox, Yankees and Tigers. Now might be the time to jump in there and get your seat.
And please, tell us about your experiences at some of these historic parks or your plans for this spring in the comments area below. I also welcome your feedback on how this feature might be improved.
Play ball!
