Regina Red Sox Sale Made Official

The sale of the Regina Red Sox has been approved by the Western Canadian Baseball League.

The WCBL officially gave the thumbs up to the acquisition of the Red Sox by Regina-based Queen City Sports & Entertainment Group (QCSEG) during a vote by the league’s Board of Governors on June 22nd.

7th Inning Stretch: Jackson Martin

He might not be the biggest player on the roster, but Jackson Martin is hoping to have biggest impact with the Moose Jaw Miller Express this summer.

At 5-foot-8 and 180 pounds, the sophomore outfielder craves the opportunity to drive in timely runs or make big catches.

OPINION: The Business of (WCBL) Baseball

Even fervent Western Canadian Baseball League fans were probably taken by surprise by the major Regina Red Sox news last week.

The club announced it was being acquired by Queen City Sports and Entertainment – the owners of the Western Hockey League’s Regina Pats.

Joe McFarland says it’s a sign of things to come in the world of baseball business – even in the WCBL.

Golden Anniversary

Time sure flies when you’re having fun.

Elemer Jerkovits has found a home behind the plate and all around the diamond as an umpire in Saskatchewan for 50 years.

As he suited up to be a field umpire in the Regina Red Sox home opener against the Swift Current 57’s on May 29, the Regina native was overcome with the feeling of gratitude.

The Iron Lady

Arleene Noga was a mild-mannered baseball lifer with one pet peeve – poor fundamentals.

The former All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) star from Ogema, Sask., could not abide seeing players lollygag a throw or casually scoop a grounder.

J.P. Antonacci of the Canadian Baseball Network was at the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum’s induction ceremony.

OPINION: WCBL’s Rural Roots was a Classic

There were cheers, beers and even a few tears at the first Western Canadian Baseball League Rural Roots Baseball Classic in Oyen, Alberta.

And if Joe McFarland had a vote at the WCBL board of governor’s table, he would enthusiastically vote “yes” to hold another one in 2026.

7th Inning Stretch: Keaton Husband

Keaton Husband bleeds Weyburn Beaver blue.

Growing up, he remembers going to games at Tom Laing Field, even getting the chance to be part of their “10th Player” promotion when he was in third or fourth grade.

Ripening Up

The Saskatoon Berries haven’t just brought a Western Canadian League team back to the city, they’ve helped transform the sport in the province of Saskatchewan.

Matt Betts of Canadian Baseball Network has more on the sophomore team’s origin story.

2025 WCBL Season Preview

Baseball heroics are on deck.

The last time we saw the Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) in action, Connor Crowson was stumbling around the bases of Seaman Stadium and arriving at home plate to a championship celebration in front of 6,341 screaming fans.

It was Crowson’s solo home run in the bottom of the ninth that served as a walk-off tiebreaker against the Moose Jaw Miller Express and delivered a three-peat title to the Okotoks Dawgs. The hometown hero made the final play of the WCBL postseason a decisive and memorable one in the 6-5 triumph.

Who will play the role of hero in 2025?

Wouters’ Splash

Cory Wouters was waiting for his inevitable midseason slump.

But it never happened and the Saskatoon native just kept rolling with it en route to being named the Region IX Player of the Year with McCook Community College.
