In just a few short weeks it will have been one year since Major League Baseball called an out on its 2020 spring training season — the catalyst that gave way to Arizona closing down because of the spread of COVID-19.
On March 12, 2020, MLB announced it wouldn’t complete the remaining two weeks of Cactus League games, which take places at 10 stadiums around the Valley. The announcement soon was followed by stay-at-home orders, and the corresponding COVID-19 economic repercussions.
As many Arizonans know, spring training is a beloved spring tradition for locals and visitors.
