Beanpot Baseball

Many people are familiar with the Beanpot Hockey Tournament but not many know that there is a baseball version as well – played each spring at Fenway Park. The Red Sox used to play Boston College every spring training because of an agreement arranged through BC Alum and former Sox President John Harrington. This spring the Red Sox played both BC and Northeastern.

I would suggest that the Red Sox make an arrangement that would give the winner of the Baseball Beanpot two televised spring training games. That would be a nice incentive for the schools and could help elevate the status of the Baseball Beanpot. The Red Sox would easily be able to arrange this since they do own most of the New England Sports Network (NESN).
