St. Petersburg
Since 1914, more Major League spring training games have been played in St. Petersburg than any other city. * Note: In 1951, the New York Giants, whose normal Spring Training site was in Phoenix, AZ, and New York Yankees swapped Spring Training locations so Yankees' co-owner Del Webb could oversee both his team and a growing real estate business concurrently. The teams returned to their typical Spring Training sites in 1952.
