The Red Sox AAA team is moving northwest on the Blackstone Trail from Pawtucket to Worcester.
After announcing the news, Worcester Mayor Joseph Petty received a standing ovation and chants of “WooSox.” The phrase has been suggested as a new nickname for the team, which is commonly called the PawSox.
The deal would move the team about 40 miles from its current home in Pawtucket. The team said it will continue to play at the 77-year-old McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket for the next two years.
This will make it much easier for me to go see a AAA game, as my wife’s family is from the Worcester area. It’s too bad Pawtucket is losing a team that was there for a very long time.
