I usually glance quickly at what Rich Lowry writes every day as he tends to lean on the right. However, his article on minor league baseball and specifically the Portland Sea Dogs was refreshing, light and enjoyable. (“The joy of minor league baseball,” July 13)

It was an honest accurate description of Portland and Maine in the warm summer months. It was a joy to read something positive and accurate from Mr. Lowry.
