2006 Cape League Season in Review
The Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox captured their 2nd Cape League Championship in three years by defeating the Wareham Gatemen. The playoffs were filled with excitement as usual, and the Red Sox won the Arnold Mycock Trophy on Sunday, August 13th in front of (reportedly) the largest crowd in Cape League history: 8000+. I was very impressed by Y-D’s 1-2 Boston College tag team of starting pitchers Kevin Boggan and Terry Doyle. Both are native New Englanders and were lights out in the playoffs.
I didn’t get a chance to attend too many games this year, because the Cape had an usually rainy July (which resulted in a lot of double-headers for the second-half of the season). However, I did get a chance to check out the beautiful new fields in Bourne and Brewster, and attend all of the playoff games it was physically possible to attend.
I’m looking forward to the 2007 season and the re-addition of lights at McKeon Park (Hyannis Mets). Also, hopefully there will be continued improvements at Arnie Allen Diamond/Guv Fuller Field (Falmouth Commodores) and the Upper Cape Tech Field (Bourne Braves).
