Minor League Baseball

Friday we took the kids to see the Lowell Spinners. They are the Red Sox short season single A team. The dollar certainly goes a long way at a minor league park. The tickets were $6.50 and the seats were just about 15 feet down the right field line in the second row. Parking cost $5 (compare this to $40 for some of the lots near Fenway), food was $2 for hot dogs, $3.75 for beer. The people at the stadium are very nice and attentive and the quality of baseball was very good. Most importantly the kids loved every minute of it. I cannot reccomend minor league baseball enough as an inexpensive way to introduce young kids to pro ball.
