As the Orioles' 2025 spring training camp opens in Sarasota, it's startling to look back at what they endured 71 years ago in their inaugural spring season, which took place a long way from Baltimore.
I love this article John. I grew up in NEPA and became an O's fan as a 10 year old in '65. I moved to Phoenix in '78. I have seen the Cactus League grow from 6 to 15 teams and the stadiums become so state of the art and beautiful. The picture of the Yuma (stadium) made me laugh. Thanks again for sharing. Let's Go O's!
WOW! Things are sure different today-in every possible way.

Thanks, Ron. Yes, things have changed just a bit.
