The number of games that each team plays in spring training varies depending on how many players claim an exemption from the mandatory retirement age. Teams that do not have any players who qualify for an exemption must play 14 games in spring training. When a team names its camp as early as February or March, they are said to be in "spring training". The team will usually travel to some location where most of them will stay in hotels close by cinder tracks where they will practice batting and throwing drills. Some camps include a few days of game action where teams that made it to spring training will play other teams that also made it.
