Spring training in Arizona started in 1946, when the New York Giants played against the Cleveland Indians. For a while, only these two teams played in Arizona during spring training; however, in 1951, things changed with the addition of the Chicago Cubs. Since then, the “Cactus League” grew to 12 teams, the most recent teams being the Kansas City Royals and the Texas Rangers.
