  • Here the Stadium Is Not Complete in Time, We See Two Potential Alternatives
    In 2017, after years of lobbying and planning, the Pawtucket Red Sox announced their move to Worcester, Massachusetts. The WooSox and Worcester announced that Polar Park would be fully emerged into Worcester’s Canal District. From the beginning, this plan was centered on building more than a stadium through a massive redevelopment of the Canal District along with a restructuring of Kelley Square. This undertaking would be funded by the team through lease payments, and the city/state in the development stages. Overall, the stadium is projected to cost approximately $99 million with additional fees around $37.5 million for property acquisition and operating expenses (Kane, 2020). The team is expected to pay $43.4 million while the city is responsible for $56.1 million (Kotsopoulous, 2020). In addition, the Canal District is expected to undergo a massive redevelopment. The plan created by Gilbane-Hunt and AECOM is projected to cost $101 million (Welker, n.d.). This proposal includes a 120,000 square-foot office building in left field with retail and restaurant space; two hotels; and further retail, office, and residential areas throughout the Canal District. This redevelopment is expected to help the stadium pay for itself as Worcester City Manager, Ed Augustus, has stated, “the fundamental principle [is] that no existing city tax revenue will be used to fund the ballpark construction.” Instead, payments will come from an incremental tax increase from the redeveloped district and increases in facility fees from the team through ticket sales and parking, among others (Kotsopoulous, 2020). However, the COVID-19 pandemic may have thrown a wrench into these plans.

  • Wampanoag, Tribespeople “Of the Dawn”
    THE WAMPANOAG, TRIBESPEOPLE “OF THE DAWN” “Ye see, Hinnissy, th’ Indyun is bound f’r to give way to th’ onward march iv white civilization. You ’an me, Hinnissy, is th’ white civilization... The’ on’y hope f’r th’ Indyun is to put his house on rollers, an’ keep a team hitched to it, an’, whin he sees a white man, to start f’r th’ settin’ sun.” — Finley Peter Dunne, OBSERVATIONS BY MR. DOOLEY, New York, 1902 HDT WHAT? INDEX WAMPANOAG WAMPANOAG When the English settlements first commenced in New England, that part of its territory, which lies south of New Hampshire, was inhabited by five principal nations of Indians: the Pequots, who lived in Connecticut; the Narragansets, in Rhode Island; the Pawkunnawkuts, or Womponoags, east of the Narragansets and to the north as far as Charles river;1 the Massachusetts, north of Charles river and west of Massachusetts Bay; and the Pawtuckets, north of the Massachusetts. The boundaries and rights of these nations appear not to have been sufficiently definite to be now clearly known. They had within their jurisdiction many subordinate tribes, governed by sachems, or sagamores, subject, in some respects, to the principal sachem. At the commencement of the seventeenth century, they were able to bring into the field more than 18,000 warriors; but about the year 1612, they were visited with a pestilential disease, whose horrible ravages reduced their number to about 1800.2 Some of their villages were entirely depopulated. This great mortality was viewed by the first Pilgrims, as the accomplishment of one of the purposes of Divine Providence, by making room for the settlement of civilized man, and by preparing a peaceful asylum for the persecuted Christians of the old world.

A dozen Bravehearts each season are local student- athletes, just like Worcester’s Jared Freilich (pictured) who currently attends Penn State. AWARDS After a stellar regular season that saw the Bravehearts finish 33-19, Manager J.P. Pyne - a Worcester resident - won his first Manager of the Year Award from the Futures League and outfielder Mike Dellicarri (SUNY-Oswego) won league MVP. On the following evening, Bravehearts infielder Dustin Harris (pictured with the Keenan Family) of St. Petersburg College won the prestigious Adam Keenan Sportsmanship and Scholarship Award given to the one player who best exemplifies sportsmanship in the Futures League. CHAMPS AGAIN The Bravehearts roared through the playoffs, defeating the Bristol Blues two games to none before facing the Martha’s Vineyard Sharks in the championship series. With the series tied at one game each and Game 3 tied 1-1 in the 1st inning, the rains came on Martha’s Vineyard and forced a cancellation of the deciding game.
