100 Things to Do
Bridgeport Bluefish
Jun 12, 2007

Longtime Major League baseball fans will find a familiar face in the park as the Bridgeport Bluefish open their 10th season: Tommy John, the longtime pitcher for the Dodgers and Yankees, will manage. Returning bench and hitting coach Terry McGriff, a former Major Leaguer, has been with the team since its inception, first as a player and then in various coaching jobs. An Atlantic League team (independent), the Bridgeport Bluefish play in the 5,300-seat stadium called Harbor Yard, which is a family-friendly, well-staffed and well-maintained operation. The park is between Main and Water streets, just south of I-95 and right near the train station and the ferry slip.  The park has a picnic area that groups of 24 to 250 may reserve and the games feature the fan-friendly goings-on between innings that are so cherished in minor league baseball. Games will start at 7:05 Monday-Friday, at 6:05 on Saturday (there are post-game fireworks) and at 2:05 on Sunday. The season continues through September.
