Cape Cod League Baseball Games

They're all great places to watch a game. But each venue does have it's own little oddities!

Okay, "oddities" might not be exactly the right word to use. "Quirks", perhaps? I don't know. Let's stick with "oddities" until I can come up with something better. (Suggestions, anyone???)

It's always fun to check out the license plates in the first few rows of the parking lot at a Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox game!

Most ... if not all ... are out-of-staters.

I'd love to say that this is because we locals are so thoughtful that we leave the good spaces for our visitors.

Ummmm. Not exactly.

Cape Cod League baseball players can really whack the ball!

Which creates a great fun activity for kids at the games --
Chasing home runs and foul balls that leave the field.

But ...

Not such great fun for anyone who left their car in the first 5 or 10 rows of the parking lot!


You'd be amazed (I know I sure was!) to see how far - and how high - those little white balls can go.

And what a mess they can make when they land on a car!

The "Shattered Windshield/Dented Hood" risk isn't big at all the ballfields ...

But do be sure to park far enough away from the field at Cotuit and Yarmouth-Dennis games!

It's the gloved hand of Bob the Burger Guy, expertly creating a Cape Cod League baseball dinner delicacy ... for me.

This is not your average baseball-game cheeseburger, as you've probably noticed.

Yes. That's a jelly donut being used as a burger bun. And that's squirty can cheese going on top of the meat.

Put it all together and you have a specialty of the Y-D Red Sox food concession called "The Hurler".

I could've gone easy on myself and tried a "Sinker" (a burger on a plain or cinnamon donut) ... but I figured that'd be wimping out.

See the batboy? >>>

See the Boston Creme Filled donut on the plate, with the burger inside?

That's his Screamer!

(Just after I took this photo, he went to eat it, dropped it, picked it up and dusted it off, and gobbled it down. Gotta love those kids!)

Just to let you know: These "specialties" at the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox games are just for fun.

All the Cape Cod League baseball fields have REAL ballpark food. Burgers, dogs, nachos, sodas. All the good stuff, at pretty reasonable prices. So you won't go hungry!

Yep. That's what everyone sees when the fog rolls in on the Cape.

Not a big deal unless you're out on a boat in the middle of the Bay or Nantucket Sound.

Or if you're at a Cape Cod League baseball game in Chatham!

If I hadn't seen it for myself, I wouldn't believe it. But at Chatham Anglers games, it's not at all unusual for the game to be delayed or even called because of FOG!

Chatham is surrounded on 3 sides by water. And when the air temperature and the water temperature are nearly the same ... which happens a lot in Chatham, in the evening, in July and August ... the fog rolls in. (The baseball field in Orleans sometimes suffers the same misty fate.)

So don't forget your jacket when you go to a baseball game in Chatham or Orleans. The fog is pretty neat to see. But it's chilly and damp and tends to run down your neck!
