Play Ball’s 4th Season Another Story of Success
Fans across the Cactus League enjoyed another season of spring training history with the fourth season of Play Ball- The Cactus League Experience.
Four venues hosted the ever-growing collection this spring, and two of those exhibitions remain open year-round.
Scottsdale and Goodyear were first-time partners for the project offering their fans a peek at the rich history of spring training baseball in the desert, while Mesa and Tempe continued to offer a more detailed look at rare photos and objects that are part of the story.
In fact, the fourth season of Play Ball featured a new year-round location opening on Main Street in downtown Mesa, to accompany the year-round show at the Arizona Historical Society in Tempe.
Book sales for the new book on the Cactus League written and researched by Susie Steckner were brisk forcing several printings to meet demand! The book remains on sale here and via several online booksellers playballexperience.com.
Plans are underway for a bigger and better 5th season of Play Ball set to launch in February 2013, so be sure to visit this site often for updates on our collection, partners and locations for exhibitions next year!
