After sitting out 2020 because of COVID, the Portland Sea Dogs will be back on the baseball diamond in 2021 with 60 home games at Hadlock Field and 60 games on the road, the team announced on Thursday.
A home opener is planned for May 4 against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, and team executives said they are working with the state to gain approval for hosting fans in a reduced capacity. We can’t wait to bring baseball back in a safe way to our fans, Chris Cameron, the team s vice president for communications and fan experience, told Mainebiz, ahead of his 25th season with the Sea Dogs.
Sure, we’re all covered in snow and ice right now, but one of the best signs of spring took place this week. Baseball’s Spring Training began!
On the heels of that awesome event came another indication of better days to come: the Somerset Patriots released their season’s schedule. Keep in mind, as of this season, the Patriots are the Yankees’ AA affiliate, so you’ll be able to see the Bombers of the future at TD Bank Ballpark.
One of the joys of minor league baseball is the variety of creative team names. Check out who the Patriots will be playing in the Northeast League this year:
