I've been waiting for it and now it is here - Cactus League Spring Training. Thanks to the great people that run Surprise Stadium; Mark Coronado, Tara Combs and Jim Mallon, I am able to photograph Major League Baseball in the Cactus League. The season started up this week and I got some shots of the Cactus League Luncheon and parts of the first game between the Texas Rangers and the Kansas City Royals.

The Cactus League is a tremendous economic engine for Arizona. The fun of Spring Training in Arizona is the ability to get close to the field and see the action in a relaxed atmosphere (at least for the fans, not the players trying to make the team).
The games have all the features of regular season games with pre-game events, the singing of the National Anthem and, of course, the nine innings of Major League Baseball when every team starts at 0 wins and 0 losses and look forward to the World Series next fall.
