It’s finally March, and that means the 2016 Cactus League season is finally here. Spring Training games officially started on Tuesday with the Cincinnati Reds playing against the Cleveland Indians while the Arizona Diamondbacks face off against the University of Arizona.
On Wednesday the fun begins as the fifteen participating teams in the Cactus League begin to play for a month of good weather, good times and of course baseball.
On Monday, the team at AZ Big Media had the chance to watch the San Francisco Giants practice at the Scottsdale Stadium, and here are the photos from that day:
