Night game

Pawtucket Red Sox Game. The PawSox are the Triple A minor league feeder team for the Boston Red Sox. They play very good baseball in a family friendly enviroment where the line for ice cream far exceeds that for beer. A ticket along the first base line costs $11 which is a bargain compared to the Boston Red Sox price for a similar ticket of $90. The PawSox played the Toledo Mud Hens and won, sending the local fans home happy. AIMG_5590

Swing batter!
