With the World Series in full swing and an impressive 13 Cape Cod Baseball League alum facing off, we thought it would be a good time to revisit our map of listings with home field advantage. Of the original 10 properties we wrote about on opening day, four have sold, five have met with the pricechopper (some more than once) and one is holding steady sans slice. Sort of sums up the market in these parts, right? Thus, here's an updated map of fan-friendly listings within strolling distance to the games, asking $194,000 to $2,450,000.
