There have been complaints at times that training under hot Florida or California sun and then coming back to major league territory in mid-April didn't always produce the best results . . .and it isn't violating the censorship to point out that northern April weather often isn't fit for man or beast, much less baseball ... So it might be that the players would have fewer sore muscles if they didn't have to undergo such a complete change.
