Priceless ... Sort of

Posted by Tom Haines, Globe Travel Writer April 24, 2008 03:02 PM

Stole a summer afternoon from spring, heading north with my son yesterday for a noon first pitch at Hadlock Field in Portland for a game between the Sea Dogs and the New Hampshire Fisher Cats.

Cost of two reserved seats down the third base line with a nine-inning view of near big-league ball: $17.

Afterwards, we stopped in Ogunquit to walk the rocks and grab a bite on the cove-side deck at Barnacle Billy's.

Price of one five-inch lobster roll, with chips: $17.50.
