Profile
Our baseball season begins mid-May, and we play a 36-game regular season schedule. We play Monday thru Friday, and occasional Sunday games. All games (except Sunday) are under the lights, beginning at 7:30 or 8pm. All fields are located in the City of Boston. Towards the end of the regular season, an All-Star team will be selected by the coaches and managers to play another amateur league All-Star team. In early August, playoffs begin with the Top 4 teams playing a Best of 5 game series. The two winners will play for the league championship in a Best of 7 game series.
The History of the Boston Park League
The Boston Park League was founded in 1929 by Bob Cusick, program director for the Boston Parks and Recreation Department, and it is now the nation’s oldest amateur baseball league. It was Cusick’s idea for the City of Boston to support and manage a quality amateur baseball league, and have most of the City represented. Teams were sponsored by different individuals, businesses, and organizations. He bought discarded Red Sox and Braves uniforms and hired unemployed professional umpires at three dollars a game, and was able to field ten teams to begin the Boston Senior Park League.
