Everyone who loves sports at virtually every level has their favorite places to take in a game or event. In short — it’s just way cool. So what are the places on Cape Cod that provide for us some of those feelings, for better or worse? Well, we took a look at all the places we’ve seen games over the past year and here’s what we thought, mind you, these are strictly opinions and these places are not an attempt to “rank” anything. Enjoy.
BFC Whitehouse Field, Harwich
The improvements made here in the past decade are just breathtaking and they only serve to amplify an already pristine place to watch a baseball game at any level. Nestled amidst the Harwich pines, adjacent to the newly built Monomoy Regional High School, this beautiful baseball locale is almost like a tiny baseball village the way it’s designed and shelters the game while making it fun to just walk around and slide down a couple of the most delicious hot dogs on the Cape. The scoreboard donated by former Major League Commissioner Fay Vincent remains the very best in the Cape League and there’s really no seat where it’s obstructed in any way. The bleachers are equal for both sides – home and away – and the groundskeeping is superlative as are the dugouts and the still compact feel of a hometown park. Truth be told, there’s more than one reason why the Eastern College Athletic Conference has hosted nine out of the last 13 NCAA DIII New England Regional baseball championships here and even more reasons why the bellowed Harwich Mariners continue to draw so many Cape League baseball fans: it’s just plain fun to be there.
