I happened to be at the last act of minor league baseball in the Hardware City... and I recount my experience on the Com.
Of course, the ownership may not have realized that shifting the franchise another ten miles north to Hartford leaves a sting. Leaving a stadium that was built only two decades ago for the new Coolatta of the month leaves some fans bitter. Hartford Yard Goats merchandise was being sold in one part of the stadium while the official gift shop was selling the last of the remaining Rock Cats merchandise. The Thank You Fans messages given over the scoreboard from the team officials always made sure to mention to see the team next season in Dunkin Donuts Stadium in Hartford. A final poke at an open wound.
