@jamieloftusHELP At Progressive Field in Cleveland, they serve a slugger dog: a hot dog covered with macaroni and cheese, bacon and Fruit Loops. I did not have one.

Wrigley Field, Chicago, IL, July 14, 1932 - A group of young boys sit perched in a tree trying to catch a glimpse of Cubs pitcher Guy Bush shutting down the Brooklyn Dodgers in a 4-1 win. Fantastic colorization by Imbued with Hues, Facebook page - > https://t.co/YBUu38VuUl

Mining Camp in Southeast Alaska, ca 1918 - I don't know if there has ever been a more stunning backdrop that baseball was played in front of than the one in this photo. I suspect this game between miners took place near Juneau at mining location known as the Treadwell complex

Our friend Mike Royko passed away on this day in 1997

[Braintree Athletics @BraintreeWamps]

We are all sorry to hear about the passing of Marty. We couldn’t have asked for a better team manager, score keeper and security covering several decades for the Wamps

HR is not your friend. Pass it on.

Like all newspapers the Ledger has to do more with less covering tough stories in our region. The whole @PatriotLedger team is working hard.
