An entertaining cultural history that taps into the romance of baseball even as it reveals its more hard-nosed commercial machinations, Under the March Sun recounts for the first time the full and fascinating history of spring training and its growth from a shoestring-budget roadtrip into a billion-dollar-a-year business. If in the early days southern hotels only reluctantly admitted ballplayers, today cities fight for teams by spending millions in public money to build ever-more-elaborate spring-training stadiums.
