McKechnie Field in Bradenton, Florida, is the oldest active major-league spring-coaching facility within the country. Opened within the spring of 1923 with Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis in attendance, it has played host to 6 different major-league teams, with the Pittsburgh Pirates calling it home since 1969. The New York Giants traveled to Sarasota in 1924 as the primary of 5 teams to venture to its confines.
