The Red Sox play their home games from mid-June until early August. Governed by an executive committee, the team plays its home games at one of the finest facilities in Cape Cod at Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School. Since the field doesn't have lights games typically start at 5:00 PM, until the last few weeks of the season when the shorter days cause game times to be pushed up to 4:30 pm. The field has become symbolic of the league, with spray-painted lines and a logo behind home plate, as well as the vast variety of music and the engaging attitude of public address announcer Joe Rubin.
Additionally, the Y-D Red Sox are the official home of the Sinker Burger and the Hurler Burger. The Sinker is a hamburger on a donut, with three varieties: down-the-middle, low-and-away, and high-and-inside (plain, powdered, and cinnamon). The Hurler, for those more adventurous, is a hamburger with a squirt of easy cheese gently nestled in the loving halves of a lightly-grilled jelly donut.
