Did you know that Surprise is home to one of the teams in the Arizona Fall Baseball League? If you are a baseball fan and can't get enough then the Arizona Fall League is for you. The league is comprised of six teams: the Scottsdale Scorpions, Mesa Solar Sox, Peoria Saguaros, Phoenix Desert Dogs, Peoria Javelinas and Grand Canyon Rafters. These club names were picked by Major League Baseball as reflective of the Southwestern desert traditions in the state.

The games are played in the beautiful Spring Training stadiums used by the Giants, Mariners, Padres, Cubs, A's, Royals and Rangers. As the regular season winds down and all eyes are on the post-season, the Fall League is getting ready to begin. The two-month experience sharpens skills and gets players ready to participate in the big leagues. Some of the notable past players in the league include: Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and David Wright, all major league All Stars.

If you can't get enough baseball check out the Arizona Fall League. Surprise, Arizona is an excellent place to catch a game in the glorious fall weather.
