Here at Benny's, one of our favorite summertime activities is heading to a PawSox ballgame at McCoy Stadium and cheering on our local sports heroes. The stadium is always filled with enthusiastic fans and community sponsors that create an exciting environment for the whole family.
The Pawtucket Red Sox team, the Triple A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, is a local icon that has made baseball history. In 1981, the team played in and won the longest game in professional baseball history at McCoy Stadium, against the Rochester Red Wings. Future Major League Baseball Hall of Famers Cal Ripken Jr. and Wade Boggs played in this game. Do you know how many innings this game was? Leave a comment to tell us!

Benny's is a proud sponsor of tonight's Paw Sox game, Junk Ball Night. The first 3,000 fans 14 and under entering McCoy Stadium prior to the 7:05 game will receive a Junk Ball. The Junk Ball also comes with an exclusive coupon to get a free Benny's T shirt with the purchase of any Junk Ball item in the store. We also gave away tickets to tomorrow night's game, featuring a post-game fireworks display. These exclusive tickets include access to the pre-game Red Tent BBQ party with complimentary ballgame food. You can enter to win contests like this on our Facebook page, so look out for the next one soon!
Also a special congrats to PawSox pitcher Matt Fox, who was just selected to be a member of the 2011 International League All-Star Team!
