“Embrace the suck.”
ASU baseball left fielder and second baseman Carter Aldrete was never a fan of the “conditions” that he dealt with last summer as a member of the Orleans Firebirds in the Cape Cod Baseball League.
“The fields are terrible. The lighting is terrible. There’s not many good places to eat on the Cape. It’s tough,” Aldrete said. “It’s a small island with very limited resources.”
As a 65 mile extension into the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Cod isn’t known for well lit baseball fields and array of quality food options. The island is divided from the mainland by a 105-year-old canal with two bridges that remind its locals that the Cape is still a part of Massachusetts.
