| Man Found Bleeding with Eye Bulging Out at Hyannis Park [HN Photos] Sunday August 16, 2026 |
|
HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS ? Shortly after 4 a.m. Sunday, Barnstable Police responded to a loud noise complaint at Aselton Park on South Street and found a disturbing scene: one man severely injured and bleeding from a forehead wound with his eye bulging out, the other passed out and unresponsive.
Officers arrived after a caller reported a group ?yelling on the green.? The injured man, a Hyannis resident, was bleeding heavily. Police immediately requested rescue. A Hyannis Fire Department ambulance crew treated him and loaded him onto a stretcher. As he was lifted into the ambulance, he mumbled what sounded like, ?I love everybody.? He was taken to Cape Cod Hospital.
The second man, 27 years old, remained unconscious at first despite officers using sternum rubs and pressure points. When he finally came around, he was highly intoxicated, unsteady on his feet, and considered a danger to himself. He cooperated while being handcuffed and placed in a cruiser for transport to Barnstable Police Headquarters in protective custody. An initial conversation with police indicated the man could possibly be new in town, having been here for only around 48 hours. Police were still trying to figure out where he was from at the time of this report.
Police first ensured both men were safe?one receiving medical attention, the other secured in custody. Investigators are still piecing together what happened before their arrival. It remains unclear whether a fight or assault caused the serious head injuries. The investigation at Aselton Park is active and ongoing, with no further details available at this time.
Note: HN is working on audio and video from an earlier high-speed pursuit from the overnight that started in Sandwich, crossed into Mashpee and Barnstable, got onto the Mid-Cape, and sped over the bridge into Plymouth at speeds over 110 MPH. The pursuit was terminated due to reckless driving. HN will hopefully release the audio later today. Stay tuned!

| The Summer Sons: Cape Cod Baseball League Saturday August 15, 2026 |
| On a Cape Cod summer evening, on many a high school baseball field, you can enjoy our national pastime of yore for free. You will find packed bleachers, a small snack shop cooking up burgers and hot dogs, and picnic blankets and beach chairs ringing the area. Local community volunteers run the whole thing- from welcoming folks at the entrance to fundraising to hosting players in their homes. The coach and trainers get a stipend, but other than that, no one gets paid. It is all done for the love of the game.
We witnessed the culmination of the season-ending playoffs of theCape Cod Baseball League between Harwich Mariners and the Bourn Braves. The Mariners won in the rubber match in the three game series. I have been persuaded to write about the Cape Cod League by the avid baseball fans in my midst and I am channeling John here because , as many of you know, I am not much of a baseball fan!
The Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL or Cape League) is a collegiate summer baseball wooden bat league. One of the nation's premier collegiate summer leagues, thousands of players have spent a summer on the Cape before later donning a big league uniform. That includes Hall of Famers like Frank Thomas and Jeff Bagwell and former stars like Nomar Garciaparra, Thurman Munson, Barry Zito and Jason Varitek. Current stars- including Aaron Judge, Pete Alonso, Chris Sale and George Springer- all wore jerseys for Cape Cod Summer League.
As early as the 1860s, baseball teams representing various Cape Cod towns and villages were competing against one another. The earliest newspaper account is of an 1867 game in Sandwich between the hometown ?Nichols Club? and the visiting Cummaquid team. Though not formalized as a league, the games provided entertainment for residents and summer visitors.
Players in the Cape Cod all live with host families who live on the Cape, becoming members of those families along the way. Hosts often refer to them as their ?summer sons?.
?The league has enabled people to come together under the auspices of baseball, and build deep and abiding relationships,? says Boston Globe journalist Christopher Price, author of Baseball by the Beach: A History of America's National Pastime on Cape Cod. Price's grandparents met at a Barnstable game in the 1930s. ?The game connects generations over time. That's a legacy that any sport would be proud of.? |
