Wondering where to find your legislative leaders Thursday night? Skip the State House and try McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket.

For the third year running, House Speaker William J. Murphy and Majority Leader Gordon D. Fox will host a "Barbecue and Baseball" event to benefit the Fund for Democratic Priorities, the House leadership's political action committee.

The $125-a-head fiesta will feature a casual cookout and, of course, a baseball game under the lights at McCoy. Last year's event drew about 150 people, according to Timothy Grilo, executive director of the Rhode Island Democratic Party.

"We find that the great American pastimes of baseball and politics go well together," Grilo said.
