A quick summary follows. 1) Options for minor/independent league tickets include: Cape Cod League Cape Code, MA Amateur (free tickets) http://www.capecodbaseball.org/ Nashua Pride Nashua, NH Independent League http://www.nashuapride.com/ Bridgeport Bluefish Bridgeport, CT Independent League http://www.bridgeportbluefish.com/ Brockton Rox Brockton, MA Northeast League (Independent) http://www.brocktonrox.com/ Lowell Spinners Lowell, MA Minor A (Short Season) Red Sox Affiliate http://www.lowellspinners.com/ Portland Sea Dogs Portland, ME Minor AA Red Sox Affiliate http://www.portlandseadogs.com/ Pawtucket Red Sox Pawtucket, RI Minor AAA Red Sox Affiliate http://www.pawsox.com/ 2) Options for Red Sox tickets include http://www.smartfan.net/ (expensive, limited selection), http://www.ticketsnow.com/, and the Red Sox own Family Bargain Games program (http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/bos/ticketing/discount.jsp), which offers 25% of selected tickets (typically weekdays). I ended choosing this last option and got two tickets for $28/each. I'm sure my son will love it. Btw, I can also recommend the Spinners. That's a fun night of affordable baseball (we buy those tickets the day they go on sale) for the entire family. But there is no substitute for an occasional night at Fenway. Regards, Erik
