Celebrating the Sask Hall’s Class of 2025

They have been pioneers and trailblazers for baseball in communities across the province.

The Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum celebrated its 40th induction ceremony with the Class of 2025 in mid-August.

Short Stop in Saskatchewan

You could call it glove at first sight.

Western Canadian baseball fans may not have realized it at the time, but they were watching the best defensive shortstop since Ozzie Smith take the field.

That summer of 2009, Andrelton Simmons made his way to the town of 15,000 people in Saskatchewan to suit up for the Yorkton Cardinals at Jubilee Park.

OPINION: Five Burning Questions for the WCBL

There’s no rest for the Western Canadian Baseball League’s wicked.

Even though the summer circuit’s season just wrapped up, plans are already underway for next year with a few major storylines coming down the pipe.

Brady’s Bunch

When he wasn’t getting it done with his bat, catcher Brady Bye was getting it done on the field with the Regina Red Sox pitching staff.

The home-grown talent, a student at Point University, was a consistent and steadying presence on the team heading into the Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) postseason.

Red Sox Ready to Level Up

If there was a participant ribbon for qualifying for the Western Canadian Baseball League postseason, the Regina Red Sox would have a drawer full of them.

Like Cal Ripken stationed on the left side of the infield with the Baltimore Orioles in the 1980s and 1990s, the Red Sox are just always there. They’re the Iron Horse of the East Division bracket.

WCBL Championship Preview

The Western Canadian Baseball League will crown a new champion.

For the first time since 2021, when the Lethbridge Bulls hoisted the Harry Hallis Memorial Trophy, a team other than the Okotoks Dawgs will claim the WCBL championship.

The Regina Red Sox will play the Sylvan Lake Gulls for bragging rights.

Sask’s Big Cities Clash in WCBL East

It was an epic series final that had more storylines than an entire postseason crammed into one game.

The heavily favoured Saskatoon Berries edged the Moose Jaw Miller Express to advance to the WCBL East Division final and will face the Regina Red Sox.

All in the Family

Eli Hansen grew up around the Weyburn Beavers.

His grandfather, Garnet, is the team president, while his father, Tyrel, was a star pitcher with the Beavers during his college days.

As the youngest Hansen trotted out to leftfield for his first Western Canadian Baseball League start with the Beavers on Aug. 2 against the Medicine Hat, the enormity of the situation wasn’t lost on him.

WCBL Top Performers of 2025

They are the sultans of swat and peak pitchers in the Western Canadian Baseball League.

During a summer of strong performances in the WCBL, these batters and moundsmen stand out among their peers and can be found at the top of the leaderboards at the end of the 56-game regular season.

Honey for the Cubs

As Reese Brons crossed home plate to score the winning run to claim the Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League title, there was an audible sigh of relief from the Saskatoon Cubs dugout.

And then … pandemonium as the celebration began.

After being knocked out in the semi-finals of the past two seasons, the Cubs were able to take the monkey off their backs in a big way with a 12-2 win over the Regina White Sox.
