                           guide, available at the Buy Joe's Guides page, isn’t about sitting on the back porch dreaming of going "next year" – it's about
                           planning to realize dreams NOW. What’s holding you back? Is it time? Sure, everybody has to work and support a family,
                           totally understood. But do you know you could attend as many as three games over a mere, two-day weekend in either Orlando,
                           Tampa, Fort Myers or the Palm Beach area alone?   Is it money? Yes, you might have to get
                           on a plane, rent a car, book a hotel room – but Joe’s guides make that process so easy it’s scary. Ticket
                           prices? Can you sweat paying $10 to get in the joint? Parking? Joe’s guides provide tips on securing free street parking.
                           Worst case? It’s $5 to park.  Here’s what it is: you should be
                           Florida, that’s what!  Spring Training is a time for unsung players
                           to rise to the occasion to earn a spot on a Major League roster to get to "The Show." Division III and Independent
                           League castoffs, who at age 28 or 29, finally "catch" the eye of a General Manager.   Unlike the regular season, it's not unusual during Spring Training for players to move about along the same paths
                           as fans to get from point A to point B with no fences, ropes, security guards or other obstacles.  
                           The fact of the matter is this: Spring Training is one of the few institutions that hasn’t changed in a world
                           where change – and speed – rule. It remains sports best kept secret – the ultimate fan-friendly adventure
                           that delivers incredible intimacy and affordability.  The content below provides a glimpse into
                           why planning a trip to Spring Training in the Sunshine State is so worthwhile. Realize your dreams today!
