This is just a great story for the greater Hartford area…
The Atlantic League has formally decided New Britain will get a baseball team next year to play at the former home of the former Rock Cats. It’ll either be an existing team or an expansion team(let’s hope it’s an expansion team – for the sake of other cities). The details haven’t been announced.
This means as the Yard Goats open the season in their new stadium in Hartford, baseball fans will have a second option nearby in New Britain. Who knows, maybe this is the start of some new kind of quirky minor league baseball vibe central Connecticut will one day be known for. That would be cool.
Meanwhile, the word is the Yard Goats have a new website.
