Brown freshman Olivia Pichardo was representing last Wednesday at Fenway Park when she threw out the ceremonial first pitch of the game (not the best, but far from the worst). Fenway celebrated Asian-American Pacific Islander Heritage Day with pre-game festivities including Taiko Drumming, traditional dance performances, and food. Remind me to go next year. Olivia …
Today is opening day at Fenway Park: Corey Kluber (Cy Young twice) will be on the mound with McGuire catching, Verdugo in right field, Devers at third, Turner has come back after taking a pitch in the face and will be today’s designated hitter, Yoshida is out in left field, Duvall in center field, Casas …
(9.17) PawSox fans are invited to a Victory Celebration at McCoy Stadium today, Wednesday, September 17, at 12:30pm to honor the 2014 Governors’ Cup Champion Pawtucket Red Sox. The team is scheduled to arrive back at McCoy via bus from T.F. Green Airport at approximately 12:45 pm. Several players, manager Kevin Boles, coaches, front office …
(7.26) There’s a special performance before the game tonight at McCoy featuring local musicians Last One Out. These college rock/power-poppers, who are mostly named Scott, met at Providence College a few years back and their latest EP “Still Life Moves” is pretty damn good — catchy tunes, good vocals, and polished production. They have been …
Can’t let this go by without some mention. The Pawtucket Red Sox had a great season this year, winning the Governor’s Cup for the first time since 1984 (get your T-shirts here). A crowd of about 200, including Governor Chafee and Pawtucket Mayor Grebien, celebrated in front of Pawtucket City Hall on Thursday, unveiling this …
(7.8) Clay Buchholz and Jacoby Ellsbury are scheduled to continue their Triple-A rehab assignments today at McCoy Stadium when the Pawtucket Red Sox host the Syracuse Chiefs. It looks like tickets are still available for today’s game — $7 general admission for adults, beat that. According to the ProJo, Buchholz will be limited to about …
(5.27) Apparently there were “fireworks” of a different sort last night when the PawSox rallied for 7 runs in the eighth inning for the 8-5 win. Daisuke Matsuzaka looked sharp, working five shutout innings against Toledo. Dice-K allowed only one hit. Matsuzaka was very efficient, throwing 56 pitches, 38 for strikes. (Dare we hope?) First …
Called on account of Easter. This month marks the 30th anniversary of the longest game in baseball history which of course took place right here in Pawtucket at McCoy Stadium. The game started on April 18th, 1981 and lasted eight hours and 32 innings before being stopped. It ended two months later in one more …
(It reads a little differently in the online version. I apologize ahead of time for the stupidity of this post.)
Start arranging a looooong lunch break for yourself — Kevin Youkilis is the DH today at McCoy in a matchup with the Bisons. He is rehabbing with the Paw Sox for a couple of days. (And if you want your kid to go into professional sports, come up with a name that rhymes with ‘boo’ …
