It's Minor League Baseball Week in Massachusetts

The Red Sox aren't the only game in town - Massachusetts (a relatively small state) actually is host to four minor league teams. For baseball fans, this might be just the excuse you are looking for to head over to the Bay State and spend a week going from one team to the next. Plus there are loads of other wicked fun stuff to do while visiting, including visiting microbreweries, biking, fishing charters, and certainly you should grab a lobster dinner and sip some steaming hot New England clam chowder too!
