Re: “Baseball game in Phoenix also a foodie delight,” April 11.

I enjoyed reading about the writer’s visit to a spring training baseball game in Phoenix, which was described as “Grapefruit League” baseball. Something just didn’t seem right about this. Grapefruit from Arizona?  In fact, spring training in Arizona is called the Cactus League. The Grapefruit League takes place in Florida.

Nevertheless, the article has  enticed me to add a visit to spring training in either location to my bucket list,  although it might be rather prickly in Arizona.
