Summer baseball has been a staple on Cape Cod dating back to the late 19th century, with records of games being played on the Fourth of July as early as 1885.
Throughout the league’s history a lot of things have changed, but one thing that has not is the quality of talent.
In total, over 1,600 players who played in the Cape League have appeared in a Major League Baseball (MLB) game.
Five former Cape Leaguers have gone on to become MLB Hall of Famers: Pie Traynor, Carlton Fisk, Frank Thomas, Craig Biggio, and Jeff Bagwell.
