Congratulations are in order for Polar Park in Worcester. It was just voted Best Triple A Ballpark in America by fans!
The home of the Worcester Red Sox beat out a field of 30 triple A ballparks in tournament bracket-style voting to be crowned best, to the dismay of Las Vegas Ballpark (home of the Las Vegas Aviators) which won the competition for the past two years.
Polar Park took out Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City, OK in the Championship Round. Over 87,000 people voted in Ballpark Digest's Best of the Ballparks yearly competition.
Congrats Polar Park and let's gooooo WooSox!!

Then there was the New England Blazers game I went to in middle school. Remember that old lacrosse team? They played at the Worcester Centrum.
