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!

A Fourth of July State of Mind

   What is the one thing on everyone’s mind this week? The 4^th of July, of course. With Independence Day on every Cape Cod goers’ mind it is no surprise that everyone is clearing their schedules for the big weekend to come. This star-spangled excitement has started to envelop Cape Cod so get your American Flag ready.

As route 6 backs up we can expect a crowded and eventful weekend. When thinking of 4^th of July barbecues, beach and fireworks immediately come to our minds and these joyous traditions are strong rooted here on the Cape. The Chatham 4^th of July parade, one of our long standing traditions, goes above and beyond with floats from our favorite local restaurants, retailers, marching bands and more.

Naturally we asked our team members and friends what they plan to do this 4^th of July and received answers including shopping in Provincetown, Whale Watching and even filling our cooler up and heading to the National Seashore. However, what we all had in common was the Fireworks! Cape Cod is renowned for its firework extravaganzas that light up the coastal skies. Whether you are lathering up sun screen on the 559.6 miles of pristine coastline, cooking up some fresh lobsters and creamy butter or checking out the bustling parades, Cape Cod is the place to be.

Live Like a Local

 We all have that dream of an imaginary place, our sanctuary. The place you feel homesick for even if have never been. Our cherished home away from home is Cape Cod. The minute we cross of the Sagamore Bridge we become new people. A sense of serenity and relaxation hits us like a wave crashing over the beaches of the National Seashore. Maybe it is just the vitamin D boost or the fresh pedicure feeling from the exfoliating sand but whatever it is, is working.

The Cape for all of us here at New England Vacation Rentals is the place to unplug and recharge if only for a short amount of time. We are all leaping full force into summer after this winter from hell so join us and unplug from the fast paced life we have all grown to live. Who needs a therapist when you can breath in the salty air, listen to the waves break and squeeze that warm sand between your toes.
