farm produce and homemade sweets. In summer months, catch it on Saturday on

We're not advocating
those pink Red Sox caps. But sometimes a girl wants to look good while she's supporting
the team. At Lucy's League, fashionable sports fans will find shirts, jackets and other
gear sporting the local teams' logos - but in super-cute styles designed to flatter the fe-
male figure.
