The 2020 Guide to the Florida Grapefruit League www.FloridaGrapefruitLeague.com SPRING TRAINING Baseball is a great, all-American sport that I really enjoyed growing up. Baseball teaches you the value of hard work, teamwork and performance under pressure. For decades, cities throughout Florida have been fortunate to host MLB Spring Training games in the Grapefruit League, including my hometown of Dunedin where I played Little League. With our beautiful weather, top notch facili- ties and unrivaled fanbase, I look forward to another successful MLB Spring Training season and wish every team participating in the Grapefruit League the very best. — Governor Ron DeSantis Welcome to one of the highlights of the sports year in the State of Florida. The 2020 Major League Baseball Florida Spring Training season. For just over 30 days in February and March, Florida is in the spotlight of the national sports eye as Major League Baseball players prepare for their upcoming seasons. The 2020 season brings new hope for all 15 teams involved and a couple of new and renovated facilities. The Atlanta Braves begin play in the brand new CoolToday Park in North Port and the Toronto Blue Jays return to Dunedin for renovated TD Ballpark. Here’s hoping baseball fans visiting Florida in 2020 have an opportunity to check out those new ballparks as well as the other 11 that make up the Florida Grapefruit League.
