Cape Cod's Very Own Fenway Park

Kevin Youkilis, Mark Teixeira and Jason Varitek, do these MLB players sound familiar? Before these prominent players were drafted into the major leagues, they had to start somewhere and that somewhere was the Cape Cod Baseball League.

On the surface any Cape league game may seem like a player’s summer hobby.  When you look a little deeper, however, you will notice the vigilant recruiters jotting down stats, packed stands that line the field and fan’s beach chairs that have made themselves permanent for the             summer season.

These 10 Cape Cod teams  including the Harwich Mariners, Chatham A’s and the Orleans firebirds are bursting with talent from all over the country. Each day as the brilliant sunset comes to an end and those bursting field lights turn on for another night of 8 innings we can’t help but feel as though we are watching from the Green Monster in Fenway Park. What is blindingly exhilarating, besides the hot dogs that are grilled to perfection, is the fact that soon enough we will be seeing these young players on our very own major league teams. Whether these players join the Red Sox, Yankees or Braves, they are the future of the MLB and we get to watch them every night for free thanks to the     Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce.

While attending the games with friends makes for the perfect summer evening, our New England Vacation Rentals team wanted to dig a little deeper and see what these future hall of famers were really all about. What better way to do that then sit in on one of the Chatham A’s camp clinics. As we pulled up to Chatham’s Veterans Field it was impossible to ignore the light-hearted energy encompassing these normally competitive players.  With players AJ Puckett and Daniel Castano pitched under hand to the spirited campers it was hard to not want to join in on the fun. As Cameron Stone and Garret Williams took a water break they loved speaking about the welcoming host families they are grateful to live with this summer and rave about the friendly atmosphere they have become a part of here on the Cape.

Both the Cape Cod Baseball League games and each teams clinics are the perfect way to get involved with the local scene over here on Cape Cod.  These action packed games will leave you wanting more from these future MLB stars so check out the CCBL Schedule for the next game!
