Since 1923, Cape Cod’s ‘Summer Sons’ Have Always Come to ‘Play Ball!’

Unlike Brooklyn Dodgers fans, whose connection to their “boys of summer” is wistful, baseball fans on Cape Cod have a very vibrant, active relationship with their “summer sons,” the rotating cast of young men who compete in the prestigious Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL) every summer.

Titletown Restored

The Super Bowl is no exception to the grand American tradition of excess. In fact, the National Football League’s championship game typifies it. So it should come as no surprise that the NFL team that scored most excessively all season long, the Green Bay Packers, continued that timeworn tradition of American gluttony with a 35-21 Super Bowl XXXI victory over the AFC Champion New England Patriots in the Louisiana Superdome.

Taking the Good . . . With the Very Bad

Cheesesteaks and mistakes may have been featured items on the Veterans Stadium menu in Philadelphia on Thursday night –- entrees that gave Patriots Coach Bill Parcells a nasty case of indigestion –- but the young Patriots added a dash of spice to their offensive recipe as well, which may have salvaged dinner this night.

‘Baby-Faced Assassin’ Lets Live Fastball Do Talking

If Raymond Chandler was a PawSox beat writer, relief pitcher Cory Bailey might have been pegged as the "Baby-Faced Assassin.” Unlike some of his fellow relievers, Bailey doesn’t look the part of the menacing closer. Boston’s Jeff Russell sports an intimidating goatee – and even Ken Ryan has toyed with facial hair this summer – but Bailey’s All-American, clean-cut appearance does little to strike fear into the hearts of opposing batters.

Boston Baseball Opinion: Fenway Must Go

Progress, with a respectful nod to the past, is good. As much as I hate to admit it, the Red Sox seem to have actually done something right.

Denver Gives Overmatched Pats the Boot

Reality bites. It also hits hard, passes with precision, runs with abandon and scores at will. Reality is the Denver Broncos, who systematically dismantled the New England Patriots, 34-8, in a keenly anticipated AFC matchup on Sunday afternoon at Foxboro Stadium. It was the Patriots’ worst beating since the visiting Broncos administered a nationally televised 37-3 whipping on TNT last October.

A Game of Inches and . . . Feet

Strolling across the Bryant College campus in baggy shorts, a polo shirt and a baseball cap, Matt Bahr could almost pass for someone half his age. Father Time has been kind to the Patriots placekicker, whose impish face belies his 39 years, but nowhere is Father Time's blessing more evident than in Bahr's right leg, which has earned him a more-than-respectable living the past 16 years.

Patriots Defuse Chargers, Roar Back into First Place with Win

From La Jolla to Mission Valley, word around these parts was that the Patriots wouldn’t pose a problem to the schizophrenic Chargers, who handled the Kansas City Chefs with ease a week earlier. But, as Bolts fandom soon found out, the Patriots aren’t a team to be taken lightly this year. Or as New England kicker Adam Vinatieri said, “You can’t take a team that has a better record than you lightly.”
