Play Ball's 4th Season On Deck



The fourth season of Play Ball – The Cactus League Experience joins baseball’s best slugger Albert Pujols in the “on deck” circle preparing for a big plate appearance in the upcoming 2012 Cactus League season!  When fans aren’t enjoying the historic performance of Pujols in games across the Valley, they can take in our ever growing collection of historic objects and photos in one or more of four unique exhibitions opening next month in Mesa, Tempe, Scottsdale and Goodyear.


We also are excited that Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has weighed in on the importance of this effort to the state’s history by declaring the month of March 2012 as Cactus League Heritage Month and we can’t wait for the debut of a book written about the Cactus League by local author and Play Ball backer Susie Steckner.  It goes on sale Feb. 27th right here at playballexperience.com.


As with Cactus League seasons past, 2012 promises to be a season to remember.  We hope you will join us for this exciting chapter in Arizona’s spring training history!
