| Cape
Cod Baseball Returns in June
As much as beaches and boating,
Cape Cod summers mean baseball. But say goodbye
to Fenway's high-priced seats. Here, there's
just a baseball cap for donations after a day in
the sun.
Founded in 1885, the
Cape Cod Baseball League is America's oldest
amateur baseball tradition, known for grooming
the best professional players. Last year, one in
seven Major League Baseball players were Cape
Cod alumni. And each summer, more college boys
leave their aluminum bats behind for wood and
bunk up in local homes, hoping to earn their
ticket to the big game.
Look back at the early glory
as a new season starts June 15 and the Hall of
Fame enjoys its fifth and final season at the
Heritage Museums & Gardens in Sandwich. For
next fall, the display moves to the lower level of the John F. Kennedy Hyannis
Museum. |
