Polar Park Pics: At WooSox new ballpark there’s a lot worth shooting if you know where to look | Matt Vautour

WORCESTER Long before I was a sportswriter and well before there was digital photography or Instagram, I brought a camera to the ballpark. I’d buy the little yellow disposables right in the park as a junior high schooler and wait for the 24 shots to come back from CVS three days later. Every game, every time. I have the best in albums, and the rest are scattered in boxes. So naturally, the first game at Worcester’s Polar Park was an opportunity to add to the collection, a chance to shoot the new venue while everything was still shiny and unscuffed.
