Worcester Shire Saucers
I like Worcester Polar Bears better for two reasons.
1. The obvious tie-in with Polar Soda
2. When I was a kid, my dad often took me to the Worcester Museum of Science (now called the EcoTarium) where one of the most popular exhibits was the polar bear tank with underwater viewing....
Back when we had the Norwich Navigators (now the Richmond Flying Squirrels) I had a hat and went to a couple games. They were AA though, so games were a little more fun than with a short season A club as they are now.
I do have a Hartford Yard Goats hat and shirt. Those games are incredibly fun. I'm personal friends with the on-field host.
Lowell looks like it will be no more, as MLB appears poised to eliminate rookie and short season ball (along with several low A, high A and even some AA teams).
