When baseball’s minor leagues canceled their seasons on June 30 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it also meant the likely end of a 50-year run for the Pawtucket Red Sox at McCoy Stadium.
The Boston Red Sox Triple-A affiliate plans to move to Worcester, Mass., next year.
The team has said it hopes to come up with a “fitting farewell” to the 78-year-old stadium the team has called home since 1970. The Boston Red Sox have discussed using McCoy as a workout facility to prepare for the upcoming shortened MLB regular season.
While the team’s owners initially proposed a new ballpark in Pawtucket, opposition to early funding plans delayed General Assembly support long enough for Worcester officials to lure the PawSox away from Rhode Island.
Will the way the PawSox ended up deciding to leave Rhode Island affect how you approach team-related, community events this year?
