A Bittersweet Day For Baseball in The Thread City
My alma mater, Eastern Connecticut State, is the pre-season #1 in Division III baseball. Not only that, but Trinity in Hartford is ranked 5th. But not all news is good news out of Willimantic. The Thread City Tides of the NECBL will be moving to the Berkshires next year after being purchased by Dan Duquette. Yes, that Dan Duquette. Duquette plans to have the team play at his sports academy in Hinsdale, Massachusetts. Hinsdale is just outside of Pittsfield. Hey, Dan. The Astigmatic Eye just wants to tell you that Wahconah Park should be available.
