That's my childhood right there. Few
Grew up in the Pawtucket border in East Providence and basically lived at McCoy growing up. I still have a drawer of autographed balls from fishing the dugout with a milk jug.

I'll never forgive them for what they did with the Pawsox and how much they took a sh*t on Ben Mondor's legacy and lied to his widow's face.

No owner had done more for fans than Mondor. In 30+ years of ownership he never raised ticket prices and kept concessions as cheap as he could. Even in 2010, front row behind the plate was $15 and the blue seats were $8. He also constantly let local groups use the stadium for things like having the Boy Scouts camp out on the field.
