Well before Arizona became a state, baseball played a significant role in the region\u2019s social, recreational, and economic development. Even while the Indian wars raged and outlaws roamed the territory, there was baseball.<\/p>

A new program called the Arizona Baseball Trail celebrates that legacy.<\/p>

The Trail will be a self-guided tour of landmark sites that not only tells the story of pioneer baseball, but also the rowdy and competitive mining leagues, the barnstorming days of Major League Baseball, the rich legacy of championship high school and college programs, the beginnings of the Cactus League and the current era of sprawling baseball campuses that support a billion-dollar industry.<\/p>

The trail begins with a \u201cStarting Nine\u201d list of historic sites that played a critical role in the development of Arizona baseball. Additional sites will be added in the future. The plan is to celebrate each location with a plaque, a web page description and a place on the Arizona Baseball Trail map.<\/p>

Participants who follow the trail will discover fresh insights into America\u2019s Pastime and a mosaic of frontier landmarks, hidden gems and living history that tell the story of both Arizona and baseball.<\/p>

Contests, collectables, exhibits and other activities will also be part of the trail \u2013 a modern adventure that will honor the past, celebrate the present and peer into the future.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
