The Hartford Yard Goats are heading into the playoffs for the first time since they relocated from New Britain in 2016 and a watch party will be held in Hartford on Tuesday, Sept. 17.
Hartford Yard Goats general manager Mike Abramson said fans have been waiting for the team to go to the next level for a while. Now it’s happening.
“The Hartford Yard Goats have never been in the playoffs -- this is the first time,” he said.
“The Wolf Pack have begun to fill up, again they’ve made the playoffs the past couple of years, the Athletic are doing well, they’ve made the playoffs. I feel like we’re doing our part to finally make it to the playoffs,” Abramson added.
