Synopsis
Describes each of the major league training camps in Arizona, recommends hotels, restaurants, entertainment, and tourist attractions in the area, and shares spring training anecdotes
Reviews
Florida's new senior league attests to spring training's popularity. Valenti has compiled a companion to Grapefruit League Road Trip , which he wrote with Ken Coleman ( LJ 1/89; a revised edition of that book is scheduled for February 1990 publication). The new work will serve fans of Cactus League teams, i.e., those in Arizona. There are extended lists of motels, restaurants, and tourist attractions. In contrast, Garrity gives his own favorite hotels, restaurants, and attractions, and those of writers and players, plus each area's ambiance, in a wry, photo-packed guide. Both books give directions, ticket information, and autograph chances. Valenti's book will serve fans of Cactus League teams. Garrity's is recommended for all sports collections.
