Dogs to play at Fenway again

No announcement has come from Boston or Portland, but the Sea Dogs are scheduled to play another game at Fenway Park, on Saturday, Aug. 8, against the Bowie BaySox.

Every year, the Red Sox host a "Futures at Fenway" doubleheader, featuring two of its affiliates. The Sea Dogs and Lowell Spinners played Fenway in 2007; the Spinners and Pawtucket Red Sox played last year.

No word yet on if Lowell or Pawtucket will play at Fenway this year. Neither of their schedules indicate a Fenway game, although both teams are home on that date.

According to the new Sea Dogs website, the Aug. 8 game will be at Fenway. The Sea Dogs underwent a web change because Minor League Baseball is taking over the sites. The scheduled time is 12:05.

Speaking of the Sea Dogs, it is that time of year when the team looks for host families for its player.

Players who stay with host families are provided a private bedroom at either no cost or at a reduced rent.

If you are interested, contact Geoff Iacuessa (geoff@seadogs.com or 874-9300) for more information.

MiLB is now showing Pawtucket playing Norfolk at Fenway for the second game.
That would make both games Boston's affiliate against the Orioles' affiliate.
Should be a fun day.

Hello,
I am deputy dog, otherwise known as Marty Jensen's daughter. Harold was one of my dad's closest friends. Dad and HArold spent time together both at the ball park, and also going to other sporting events throughout Maine. I know my dad will miss him terribly. Harold was a fun, nice man and I'm glad to have known him.
