The Brewers Official
Spring training workouts will begin on Monday, Feb 20 after physicals. Pitchers
and Catchers are to report on Sunday the 19th, which is tomorrow. Some
players have been working out in Maryvale, ahead of their normal dates, which
is nothing new considering many live in the area.
You can view
pictures of Brewers working out in Maryvale here!
Maryvale
is a neighborhood in Phoenix. Maryvale Baseball Stadium is a modest facility,
to be sure: it holds only 8,000 folks (7,000 seats, plus 1,000 or so on lawn
seating), its home to only one spring training team, and uses a familiar layout
of a rear concourse with concessions in back of the seating area. The 56-acre
complex features of five full major/minor league practice facilities, two
half-field practice facilities, a major-league clubhouse, and a minor-league
clubhouse.
The Milwaukee Brewers have spent every spring
training in Arizona, a stretch beginning when the team was the Seattle Pilots:
in 1969, the team's history began with spring training in Tempe, which lasted
through 1972. This was followed by springs in Sun City (1973-1985), Chandler
(1986-1997) and then Phoenix (1998-present).
I know the Brewers are just as anxious as us
fans; that is are, to hear the words,
Play Ball!
Here is some video for you to whet your appetite. Go Brewers 2012
