Baseball’s Made History in Scottsdale By Joan Fudala, community historian
Every March, Scottsdale becomes the epicenter for baseball, with three major league teams training here, and scores of youth and adult leagues filling ball fields around the community. Although our long-time love affair with America’s pastime peaks in March, we’re really a year-round baseball city, and the game’s had a big impact on Scottsdale’s history, lifestyle and economy. Founder/namesake Winfield Scott played baseball at the University of Rochester in the late 1850s; baseball came to the Arizona Territory when soldiers posted at forts played ball in their rare free time. With no major league baseball teams west of the Mississippi until after World War II, baseball was primarily an amateur’s game in Arizona’s early years. From the 1920s to 1960s, local men played on the Scottsdale Blues and women on the Scottsdale Reds. Some even played a raucous game while riding donkeys.
1950s - SpringTraining Scottsdale Ballpark - SHS photo
During lunch at Scottsdale’s Pink Pony in spring 1955, businessmen asked visiting Orioles executive Paul Richards if he’d bring his team to Scottsdale for spring training, joining the New York Giants and Cleveland Indians in the fledgling Cactus League. He said he’d consider it if Scottsdale built a ballpark. Accepting the challenge, the Scottsdale Baseball Club formed, leased land on Osborn Road, began pre-selling seats in the yet-to-be-built ballpark, and broke ground in June. The new Scottsdale Ballpark hosted an exhibition game of major league stars in November 1955; Cincinnati Reds’ Ted Kluszewski hit the ballpark’s first homerun. The Baltimore Orioles inaugurated spring training in Scottsdale in 1956. The Boston Red Sox – including iconic slugger Ted Williams – replaced the Orioles in 1959, holding their spring games here through 1965.
2011-3-25 - SaltRiver Fields - Inaugural Season-Fudala Photo
Future Baltimore Orioles pitching legend Jim Palmer was a three-sport letter- man at Scottsdale High School in the early 1960s. No major league team played at the Scottsdale Ballpark in 1966. Meanwhile, the Scottsdale Charros, which had assumed spring training hosting duties from the Scottsdale Baseball Club, scouted for a new team. College and amateur teams used the ballpark in the interim. The whole town celebrated when the Chicago Cubs agreed to use Scottsdale’s ballpark for spring training in 1967. Little did we know that a “practice 2017 World Series” would take place on March 17, 1967 when the Cubs played the Cleveland Indians here. During the Cubs’ years, the Scottsdale Baptist Hospital auxiliary began parking cars at the ballpark for donations, California Gov. Ronald Reagan attended games and “Leo the Lip” Durocher was the colorful team manager. When the Cubs opted to move to Mesa, the Oakland A’s began a three-year stint as Scottsdale’s spring team, 1979 to 1981. In 1982, the San Francisco Giants replaced the A’s as Scottsdale’s resident team, and continue to draw record crowds every year. At the Giants’ urging, the old, wooden ballpark was replaced with a multi-purpose stadium in 1992; several other upgrades have enhanced the player and fan experience. From 1992 to 1997, the Phoenix Firebirds minor league team called Scottsdale Stadium home. Salt River Fields on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community opened as spring home to the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks in 2011. The Scottsdale Stadium/Indian School Park Complex and Salt River Fields have baseball activity year-round, with rookie leagues, rehab and practice. The Scottsdale Scorpions of Major League Baseball’s Arizona Fall League have played at Scottsdale Stadium since the early 1990s. Today, 15 major league teams converge in metro-Phoenix for Spring Training, creating an economic impact of $544 million annually, according to the Cactus League, which celebrates its 70th anniversary this year. About the Author: Joan Fudala is a Scottsdale-based community historian and author of seven books about Scottsdale’s history and people. Joan has served on numerous board and commissions, focusing on the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, arts and culture and human services.

Exquisite Spanish Mission-Style Retreat
10999 E Whistling Wind Way - Located in the Heart of Silverleaf’s Upper Canyon
Inspired by their European travel, the property owners, along with the award winning team at Calvis-Wyant, wanted to create a Spanish Mission-Style home while capturing the magnificent city lights, golf course, and mountain views their Upper Canyon site had to offer. While maintaining architectural authenticity, the design provides the perfect blend of indoor-outdoor living spaces for family gatherings and entertaining. Guests will also love the 2 bed/2 bath/full kitchen casita with all of the amenities of a four-star hotel. The front courtyard provides a separate entertaining space and makes a grand statement before entering the house. The courtyard also leads to the main dining room, keeping with the indoor-outdoor living theme. No detail was spared, materials used include reclaimed hand-scraped walnut wood flooring, hand-painted motif tiles, intricate iron work, and handmade light fixtures. And of course, no authentic Mission-style home is complete without a bell tower and this home has one with an antique bell from a late 1800’s church. The property is so special that it has been featured in the March issue of Luxe Interior and Design magazine and will be featured in the August issue of Elegant Homes, and the October issue of Beautiful Kitchens and Baths.

Family Promise - Greater Phoenix
Helping Families with Children to break the cycle of Homelessness... In Operation since 2000, Family Promise-Greater Phoenix has provided more than just shelter for families. For the past 16 years, the programs at Family Promise have helped over 800 families. These programs have enabled families to move from homelessness to self-sufficiency. The Vision of Family Promise is a community of whole and healthy families. At Family Promise, we give families the tools and training to care for their children, find employment and housing, and become independent and successful. We strive to provide a safety net for children and their families before they drop into a cycle of endless shelters, loss of school attendance, unemployment, family instability and foster care. Family Promise is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, independently affiliated with a national organization founded in 1986 and comprised of 200 affiliates in 46 states (www.familypromise.org). Family Promise operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and only serves families with children. More than 60% of our clients are children.
