minor league game at wrigley field

...in Petco Park as part of a ‘doubleheader’ thing with the Padres having one afterward, I believe. At the least, they’ve played there before.

I’ve tried contacting the A’s to suggest they do that with the Stockton Ports or Sacramento River Cats but I never heard anything from them about the idea.

Have been doing it for a few years now. They do a doubleheader of two minor league affiliates when the Sox are out of town. Pawtucket/Lowell/Portland.

Really cheap tickets, too. Ive never been though.

Its a great idea every team should be doing. I know a couple Sox prospects, Buchholz and maybe Lowrie remarked that it put them at ease when they finally got called up. They didnt have quite the same amount of jitters they normally would.

Sox also do a program every offseason where they invite 20 or so top prospects and have them come to Fenway and do seminars on everything from tipping clubhouse guys, to dealing with the media. They usually have a couple vets and Varitek show up. That’s also a great idea. Yankees started copying that idea this season.
