They call Phoenix the Valley of the Sun, saying it has 330 days of sunshine a year. Well, our first game of Cactus League baseball took place on one of the other 35 then. Not that cloudy and 63 degrees at game time is bad, compared to cloudy and 43 when we left Virginia the day before!
Maryvale is located in a residential area on the west side of Phoenix. It is a comfortable, park-like setting for a modern, spacious ballpark and the many practice fields needed for a spring training camp. The complex appears to be an attempt at spurring economic development in the surrounding neighborhood, as it seems a little out of place.
