Massachusetts Brings Baseball Back
« on: May 16, 2013, 09:46:22 am »
Baseball is back in Massachusetts, and hopefully its there to stay.

The entire state is excited with the announcement that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will once again be rooting hard for a team, with the announcement of the Massachusetts Americans.

The Americans will be based out of Boston, who will also have a AAA team only 5 miles over, the Boston Minutemen

The organization would like to keep all minor league affiliates in the New England area, with the AA Hartford Hitmen settling down in the Hartford, Connecticut area.

The Single A affiliate will be placed in Providence, RI, and will take the name, the Providence Pioneers

Finally, the Rookie Ball affiliate will be located in Fort Myers Florida, with the name, Fort Myers Mad Sox.

The New England area can be excited about the up and coming teams in the area!!!

Massachusetts Americans - Major League
 

Boston Minutemen - AAA


Hartford Hitmen - AA


Providence Pioneers - A


Fort Myers Mad Sox - R
