Portland Sea Dogs Opening at Home

When my sons were small, we'd often go down to Hadlock Field in Portland and attend one of the Sea Dogs minor league baseball games. At the time the team was associated with the Florida Marlins and we always had a good time - lots for the kids to see and do for a very reasonable price.
Last night was the home opener, so Ben and I walked over to catch the game. It's only a little over a mile to get there from our apartment and it was a nice day, though windy. We got our Fenway Franks (the Sea Dogs are now affiliated with the Red Sox), then hunkered down to watch the festivities. As the sun went down, it got progressively colder....and colder....and colder. But we waved at Slugger the Sea Dog, laughed at the Trash Fish, and enjoyed the first three innings. By then we'd had enough - we just didn't dress warm enough - and left to walk back through Deering Oaks Park. But we'll be back...on a much warmer day.
