The St. Lucie Mets are located in the
southern part of Florida. People usually fly into West Palm Beach or
Miami to get to Port St. Lucie. It's very close to Miami. They
are at the Single A level. The St. Lucie Mets play at the Big League
Mets Spring Training field. That's also right next to a big complex
with about eight fields for the Gulf Coast league players to play
at. Its also a Training rehab rot the Major Leaguers who are
currently hurt and trying to get back to playing. They use the backfields
to workout on and also use the indoor batting cages to work on.
Every October an Instructional League is held at the complex in St. Lucie.
The players that just have been drafted usually go there. The St. Lucie
team draws a pretty good crowd on a average day to day basis. In
2003 they were the Florida State League champions. The team is
located right on the beach and have really nice weather. There is a
whole lot more to see besides the single A team. There is also
another team and a beach in St. Lucie. If a player is ready they
usually move them up to the double A level. a lot of the teams in
the Florida State league are very close to St. Lucie.
