The Navs are back in town!

Well, they will be, soon…the North Shore Navigators, that is!

The Navs, a part of the New England Collegiate Baseball League, will return to Fraser Field in Lynn, MA, for their second season on June 4.  They will be playing the 2008 NECBL champs, the Sanford Mainers.

The NECBL attracts the best of college ballplayers from all over…from the Outer Banks of North Carolina to the Pacific coast. They are scouted by Major League teams, and all of the players hope that one day, their dreams of playing in the majors will come true.

But, in the meantime, we get to go and watch them play, at very affordable prices.  All tickets are General Admission and cost $6 each.  For $11 per person, there is a “Chomps Special”.  This consists of a General Admission ticket, your choice of a burger or a hot dog, a bag of chips, and a soda.  Sheesh, it costs almost $11 to go to a movie these days, and that doesn’t even include food!  In these tough economic times, this is a most excellent entertainment value on the North Shore.

Tickets can be purchased in advance online at http://www.nsnavs.com, or, if you don’t like to plan ahead, at the gate.

I wonder if Mike can sneak out of work a little early on June 4, so that we can go to Opening Night?  We shall see!
