A Night With The Sanford Mainers

By Administrator | July 28, 2010

I went to Sanford, Maine, tonight to visit one of my oldest and dearest friends and his family. After enjoying dinner with Tom, his wife Joanne, and two of their three children, I headed over to Goodall Park to watch my first New England Collegiate Baseball League game - between the Sanford Mainers and the Lowell All-Americans. Tom and his son, Peter, served as my chaperones.

I was actually quite surprised to find the ballpark filled to capacity on a weeknight. The ballpark, which seats approximately 800 fans, was teeming with fathers and mothers and sons and daughters. As with most semi-pro and minor league facilities, the ballclub ran promotions almost every half inning and sold raffle tickets… I happened to win the 50-50 raffle (and $153 that went along with having the winning ticket).

The Mainers lost the game in 14 innings, but that was never the point of the evening. I got to enjoy an evening with my dear friend and his son at the ballpark… it was a great evening!

The Mainer’s mascot is Bruce D’Moose. Kenny is the mascot of the local bank.
Great game though despite the loss.

Nice blog!
