HYANNIS — The old scoreboard is still there in right field. The lights are out now. The spots for “Guest” and “Hyannis” and at-bats, inning number and count never to flicker on again. Now, it’s just a vestige, a relic, a blue block of wood.
Dan Duquette recalled looking out onto his Red Sox infield and seeing it comprised of almost all former Cape Cod League players.
The Hyannis Harbor Hawks have received a $700,000 grant to make improvements at Judy Walden Scarafile Field at McKeon Park.
Ryan Pepiot (Butler) has been nearly unhittable over the past week. And on Tuesday he earned recognition for it. The Cape Cod League announced that Pepiot won Coca-Cola Pitcher of the Week.
"As he waited, Bradley’s thoughts may have drifted to much earlier in the day, which began with a phone call back on the Cape from Tino DiGiovanni, one of his family hosts in 2009 when Bradley played for the Hyannis Mets."

“We hear hundreds of stories every year about Major Leaguers visiting children in need. It isn't every day, however, that one of those kids ends up becoming a professional baseball player himself.”

This summer the Hawks decided to take the Sky Box to the next level - to make it into a mini baseball museum.
" Decorating the Sky Box with memorabilia was a natural fit. We worked hard to get the Cape League's only Sky Box and much of it's generously donated contents. It is a real asset for us which we rent out to local businesses and groups., " said Hawks president Brad Pfeifer.
" At the same we have a rich history and access to lots of collectibles. So the Sky Box became a worthy place to house the memorabilia. Plus it makes the room much more interesting to the visitors, continued Pfeifer.
The push was to get the " museum" ready for the League Sponsor night in mid- July and then the Celebrity Softball game, which featured Jason Varitek. One of the walls , dedicated to Varitek is
adorned with his signed uniform jersey, bat, ball and a clip from the 2004 Boston Herald accounting of the Sox ( and Varitek's) World Series win.
The Hawks plan to continue to work on the museum during the off season, hoping to secure items from Baltimore manager Buck Showalter and Sox manager John Farrell.
