If you can get down to Pirates City that is a great place to visit. You can stand in the middle of four fields and watch the minor leaguers practice on each field, going through drills, batting practice, etc. If it's a game day, they will have 2-3 games going on at once. The good part is that it's not too crowded, so you can walk around freely and watch whichever field you want. They will give you a roster sheet if you ask, so you can tell the players apart. It's all free too, though there are no concessions, so remember to bring water, beverages, snacks with you if you go there.

The Pirates usually sell out about half their Spring Training games, Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, but Twins, Tigers, Rays Blue Jays and Orioles should have tickets. I say should and usually, because they are coming off their first playoff appearance in 21 years and a lot of fans came out of the woodwork, so this year could be different down there. So you might want to buy ahead of time just in case
