This gem of a travel attraction just came in from Nancy Blake Webb, one of our Facebook New England Vacations fans:

Highly recommend: the New England Summer Collegiate Baseball League. (http://necbl.com/view/necbl) They play mostly in June and July (playoffs early August). My family and I go see the Newport Gulls but there are teams all over New England. For our family of four, it costs us $12 for the whole family to get in. The stadiums are small so you can really see and enjoy the game.

Nice to know for us baseball fans here in New England — thanks, Nancy, for this great idea! We look forward attending a few games next summer.
