No one has a better seat to a Bourne Braves game than Chase Barrette.
Chase, a soon-to-be 7th grader from Sandwich, literally gets to watch the game from on the field. He sits on a ball bucket behind a screen right next to the Bourne dugout on the third base side of the field at Doran Park. Chase is one of nine different bat boys and girls for the Braves this summer.
âIt is the most wonderful job in the world,â Chase said. âI love it.â
Chase joined the Bourne organization back in 2019 and is now back for his second summer with the team. In addition to Chase, the eight other Bourne bat kids are Michael Blanco, Benjamin Buckley, Aiden Doyle, Emery Doyle, Kobi Polisky, Liam Smith, Tyler Weston and Jackson Yepsy.
