Spring Training in Pensacola

In an era before the Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues, clubs were free to host their Spring Training camps in any warm-weather areas that suited their needs. With a combination of high-quality baseball diamonds and large, open fields built for military use, many teams chose Pensacola as their Spring Training home:
