Support Senior League

Many baseball fans in the Bangor area without hesitation make the 600-mile round trip to Boston and pay hundreds of dollars to see Terry Francona’s pampered millionaires play. Yet these same people won’t take the time to support the Senior League World Series at Mansfield Stadium and watch youngsters from all over the world compete.

These kids display real talent and enthusiasm and you will never see them whining or dogging it on the field. You will never see a game that has 36 runs and 37 hits. The pitching is much better than that.

And the playing field is immaculate, kept that way by a group of volunteers who should be hired by the city of Bangor to maintain the municipal golf course, which is in terrible shape.

Even though the weather has not cooperated this year, the games that have been played have been entertaining. The players, coaches and the staff should be congratulated with more support from the locals.
