minor league teams playing in a major league venue...


A friend of mine was @ Fenway today to see the AA and AAA affiliates of the Boston Red Sox play in a double header. The Sox were in Yankee Stadium losing again to the Bronx Bombers. Portland is the AA team and Pawtucket is their AAA affiliate. I think it's great to give the minor leaguers a chance to play in historic Fenway Park, because some will make "The Show" but most won't...

The Portland Sea Dogs beat the Bowie Baysox 3-2. And the Pawtucket Red Sox lost to the Norfolk Tides 7-3. Bowie and Norfolk are the AA and AAA teams of the Baltimore Orioles.

The Giants should follow suit and have the high single A San Jose Giants and AAA Fresno play in AT&T Park when the Giants are away. The AA Connecticut Defenders are too far away.
