The Lowell Spinners are a Single-A minor league affiliate of the Boston Red Sox.
Founded in 1996 and based in Lowell, Massachusetts, the Spinners play in the New York - Penn League, which has a short-season A-ball classification with 76 games a year. The Spinners play 38 of the 76 games at their home park, Edward A. LeLacheur Park, in Lowell, near the Merrimack River. The official mascot of the Spinners is The Canaligator.
In 2005, the Spinners offered to pay for the uniforms to all Little Leagues in New England so that they would change all teams named "Yankees" into "Spinners".[1]
