There's perhaps nothing that holds the great promise of winter's end - that bright light at the end of the long, cold tunnel - than the start of spring training for Major League Baseball.

It starts with the sight of pitchers and catchers reporting early as they did a week ago. Shortly after, it's followed by the return of all our favorite players to the ball fields of Florida and Arizona. And finally, the flight of fans from the snow belts for spring vacations to see their favorite teams, escape cabin fever and fill themselves with the optimism that the days of cold and snow are coming to an end.

There's nothing better to help enhance those happy and optimistic feelings than the crisp, refreshing taste of a soft drink while watching your favorite team get ready for the upcoming season.

What fans may not know is that most ball parks - from the spring training facilities to minor league parks to the major league stadiums - usually have agreements with a particular beverage company to provide their soft drinks and other non-alcoholic beverages.

We thought baseball fans might find interesting the list below showing what companies serve the spring training facilities in Florida (known as the Grapefruit League) and Arizona (known as the Cactus League.)

So if you're one of those lucky few heading to the corners of our country for some relaxation and baseball, enjoy the action with one of our refreshing beverages.

And Go Cubs - this is the year! (Like we've said before – there's no more optimistic industry in the country than the beverage industy...and no more optimistic blog than Sip&Savor.)
