From 1907 through World War II, a handful of Major League baseball teams conducted spring training at both the French Lick Springs and West Baden Springs Hotels. Others stopped during mid-season road trips to scrimmage local, competitive teams. One of the parks where they played sat in the area where the current French Lick Casino now stands today. Visit the Casino Park Grill for more local casino and baseball history and for a quick-serve breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
