Baseball, America's pastime, can be affordable for the entire family and bring you back to why you love the game. You use to be able to walk up to Fenway Park, buy tickets and sit wherever you wanted and bring the entire family. For the last few years, they have had Futures at Fenway which is a Minor League doubleheader at Fenway Park. This year, it is on Saturday, August 20. It is a wonderful way to see minor league teams, Fenway Park, get autographs from players, mascots (including Big Wally, see bio picture), seats and concessions at minor league prices (did get Green Monster seats for $20.00 one year) and pictures with 2 World Series trophies.
Living here in New England, there are many minor league teams within a short drive or even by public transportation. There are the Red Sox affiliates, Pawtucket and Portland. There is also a team in Manchester, New Hampshire, that is affiliated with the Toronto Blue Jays.
For those of you who would like to get back to the basic purity of the game, there is the New England Collegiate Baseball League or NECBL. It would be equivalent to the Cape Cod League, which is better known. This is a wooden bat, summer league, small stadiums, close to the action and players who play because they love the game. "The key to budget travel is to plan onward. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the reality of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our minds. Planning and expending our travel budget correctly is a consideration for most families. Minimizing expending and fees, while still experiencing your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed success and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking regarding protecting money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal funds is highly small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel costs!..". The stadiums run from the old wooden building in Newport, Rhode Island, to a wide open field with a stand behind the plate, but the rest of the seats are where you decide to put your chair. The tickets last year were about $5.00 per adult, under 17 were free, but changes depending on where you go. The players are available afterwards for autographs, and the kids are usually running all over the field. You may even get the chance to see a future Major League star which happened when Andre Ethier, Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder, played for the Keene Swamp Bats. Many people have his autograph.
Those are just a few more options available around the area that is a wonderful way to introduce children to the game and to bring the purity of the game back to you as well. The thoughts are definitely turning from snow and hockey to spring and baseball. Enjoy the games!
