Her nickname was the “Iron Lady.”

Between 1945 and 1948, Arleene (Johnson) Noga was a mainstay on the hot corner in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, suiting up with the Fort Wayne Daisies and Muskegon Lassies.

Comedians across several generations, including Johnny Carson and Norm Macdonald, could attest to Uecker’s ability to put smiles on faces.

Saskatoon Seeks Sophomore Success

They were purple people greeters on a mission.

The Saskatoon Berries entered the 2024 Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) season as a team with a strong vision, but no track record.

An effective marketing and social media campaign helped brand the Berries and introduce the expansion team to the city of Saskatoon. Saskatchewan’s largest city responded by welcoming the club with open arms, and their loyalty was met with a summer of great baseball memories.
