This Connecticut Tigers may be minor league, but the team and their fans have some major heart. In this season 2 segment of “Weekends with Yankee” (episode 203), we talk to players, coaches, and locals to learn what makes this longtime Norwich, Connecticut, baseball team so special. Witness how the community rallies around the Tigers by hosting players, preparing them for potential major league careers, and supporting them in every way. When it comes to the Tigers and their fans, it’s clear that baseball is more than just a game, it’s a way of life.
2024 Editors’ Note: The team is now the Norwich Sea Unicorns. When Major League Baseball reorganized of the minor leagues after the 2020 season, Norwich was not selected to continue in affiliated baseball. Starting with the 2021 season, Norwich plays in the Futures Collegiate Baseball League.
