The Cape Cod Baseball League is a collegiate summer baseball league that has sent close to 300 players on the big leagues. Jacoby Ellsbury, Nomar Garciaparra, Ron Darling, Matt Wieters, Andrew Miller, Tim Lincecum, Mark Texeira, Barry Zito, and Joe Girardi are among the few big names to pass through its basepaths.

Throughout the summer, as the players shack up with host families around the Cape, there will be games in Bourne, Brewster, Chatham, Cotuit, Falmouth, Harwich, Hyannis, Orleans, Wareham and South Yarmouth. If you think Fenway in the summer is an experience, a Cape league game is worth your time. Each week, we’ll run a schedule of a few upcoming games, but for the complete schedule, as well as locations of all the fields and directions, go to CapeCodBaseball.org. This year’s season starts June 10 and runs through mid-August, with a break on July 23 for the All-Star Game.

This is also the first year for the league’s new president, Chuck Sturtevant, the former general manager and treasurer of the Bourne Braves and Falmouth Commodores. He replaces longtime leader Judy Scarafile, who retired after 45 years with the league in various roles, the last 24 as president.
