Today young players and baseball's best still seek to play no matter the storm. In fact, 6 out of 30 Major League Stadiums have retractable or fixed roofs, making for much happier players and fans in the colder and more tropical states. The likes include:

Rogers Centre, Toronta Blue Jays
Chase Field, Arizona Diamondbacks
Safeco Field, Seattle Mariners
Miller Park, Milwaukee Brewers
Minute Maid Park, Houston Astros
Marlins Park, Maimi Marlins
Tropicana Field, Tampa Bay Rays

For those who want to play better no matter the weather, the rest of baseball turns to indoor training facilities, where young players fire up their game in the warmth of air-controlled facilities, with excellent turf, and other training tools.
