Hey! I'm going to the PawSox opener tonight!

Also Sunday.

If you haven't been to a PawSox game, I highly recommend checking one out. Almost as good as MLB, but first row seats are $12, plenty of parking, and cheap beer

(Since I'm a Bay Stater, I posted in the MA group but I figured I'd post here too)

That's awesome! I miss my PawSox. Great times in the stands. The last time I went to Pawtucket, I blew off work to catch a game. Sun shining, and 3 homers belted out. (I think they played the Mud Hens, Toledo.)

AAA games rock!

Have fun, Manny - and say 'hi' to my fellow Rhodeys!

Great place.
Longest game in professional baseball history was played there in April, 1981- Cal Jr and Boggs played on opposite sides.
"MY" hometown Redwings lost.(Of course for the last too many years they usually lose.) :&gt )

Check out "Bottom of the 33rd."

I'll watch the game in MiLB and look for you..

Have a great time....

I remember that day - I was asked to go to that game, but had to earn a paycheck. My neighbor went, and didn't see him for 2 days. Where was he? Seeing the longest game in baseball!

I still kick myself for missing out on history... ugh!

I still love minor league baseball but these days my choices are the Beloit Snappers, the Rockford Riverhawks or the Wisconsin Timberrattlers. Still a lot of fun !

I get to watch the Batavia Muckdogs (How could you not love a team with a name like that ) Auburn Doubledays, Rochester Redwings, Buffalo Bisons, Syracuse Chiefs.. and a little farther the Binghamton Mets, maybe as far as the Erie Seawolves and the Williamsport Crosscutters.

I enjoy watching the Redwings slide up and down to the Twins and especially follow the better Muckdogs guys climb the ladder towards Cardinal heaven! $7.50 for a box seat.

Second row by first base.

After this winter, I don't think a nude swim in ice water would feel too cold!
