Boston Sox and Secrets of Better MLB Teams – Surrounded With Baseball League Fanatics

The city of Boston is closely surrounded with Boston Red Sox minor league affiliated teams. North, West, and South are covered, and to the East is the Atlantic Ocean. We’ve got 3 of the 4 directions covered. That is about as well covered as is possible. And, we have been winning. I believe that a part of that winning has to do with the expansive area that may call the Boston Red Sox their home team.

Boston has a lot going for it, especially what I am calling the secret to winning at baseball, meaning creating loyal baseball fans at high density. Though technically not a really big city; Boston population density is found in the metropolitan coastal areas. This is a part of developing the attention of the metropolitan Boston area, making for crazy crazed baseball fans.

To the southwest, of course we have the Pawtucket Red Sox who are affiliated with the Boston Red Sox, playing at the AAA level. The Pawtucket Red Sox seem to do no wrong, winning their division probably more frequently than any other team.

I can’t stress enough that Cape Cod, southeast of Boston, is home to the Cape Cod Baseball League, which although not directly Boston Red Sox affiliated, this area makes for a strong attention for the pros. Cape League fans are also usually Boston Red Sox fans. The Red Sox grow young fans at these games, where it is often possible to win tickets to Boston Red Sox games. In fact, what actually got me hooked on Pawtucket was winning a raffle prize of seats at McCoy Stadium, while at a Cape Cod Baseball League game.

Moving on, we have to the north of Boston the Boston Red Sox affiliated Portland Sea Dogs who play at AA level in the small city of Portland Maine. Thus, we draw the attention to the Boston Sox through offering a place to see Boston related baseball games. Here to the north.

Last and least, to the northwest we have the Boston Red Sox affiliated Lowell Spinners, of Lowell, MA, playing at the Short Season A Level in the New York-Penn League, albeit this is the weakest connection though it should not be overlooked.

So, there it is! The secret has been revealed. It is to create baseball culture within a high population density city, metropolitan and suburbs areas.

It is scarcely believable years’ back that the Red Sox could win a world series, and Boston is winning regularly now from a the prospective of a Curse of the Bambino years’ fan. Not every year, but comparatively the Red Sox have been winning a lot. It was only a matter of time before this fan network was built.
