Throwing out the ceremonial first pitch…

Somewhere not too far from the shadows of the Green Monster there are small baseball gems hidden along the paths of New England. In total seven Minor League Baseball teams call the region home. Unfortunately many fans in New England are unaware of the excitement, entertainment and talent that lies in their own backyard. For those of you who fall into that category, you are in the right place.

Minor League Baseball is a great take! For the cost of the average ticket to a Red Sox game at Fenway Park you could take a family of four to see some great baseball action. Minor league parks and teams gear more towards a family friendly environment and experience, so you won’t have to worry about the slurring, swearing, sweaty drunk guy next to you and your family. There is also the opportunity to see that “next big thing” at a park that holds 4,000 fans instead of 35,000!

Here at Beyond Fenway the goal is to keep you informed and up-to-date of all things Minor League Baseball in New England. We’ll take an in-depth look at each team leading up the start of the season. We’ll check out the parks to see where we have to go, how much we have to pay and what we can expect once we get there. We’ll look at the “next big thing” prospects that we have playing nearby and let you know when any big name prospects from other teams are coming through. We’ll provide constant updates so that we can follow the action as we do with our favorite big league teams.

Despite the fact that the weather around here doesn’t seem to be getting any warmer, just keep in mind that pitchers and catchers begin reporting to Spring Training in only 16 days. From there it’s all sunshine and roses…and baseball of course!
