North Adams Little Leaguers to Appear on NESN Broadcast

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — If you're a fan of Boston sports, you're most likely familiar with the New England Sports Network.
 
And if you're familiar with the network then you may be seeing some familiar faces airing on NESN Clubhouse this spring.
 
The North Adams 12-year-old Little League team has been asked to appear on the show, which will be the first Clubhouse telecast of the season for NESN.
 
"The Red Sox Foundation said they wanted a team from Western Massachusetts to represent Mass Little League," NALL President Marc Field said. "We are sending our 12-year-olds, which for quite a few will be their first time out of Berkshire County, never mind the Red Sox game."
 
The team is also receiving 20 tickets to the Red Sox game on Sunday, April 19, against the Baltimore Orioles.
 
Not only will the kids get to experience going in front of a camera, which for many young kids is something out of the ordinary, but they will have the opportunity to meet some of the players and get to experience taking the T into Boston and what it is like to be at Fenway, one of America's most loved baseball parks.
 
"It's an opportunity of a lifetime for most of the children so we want to make it as enjoyable as possible and something they remember the rest off their lives," Field said. "We're hoping this exposure will get more children out playing baseball or sports in general."
