OPINION: Oh Canada, Indeed!

Canada’s performance at the World Baseball Classic wasn’t just historic.

Our Joe McFarland believes it’s a sign of things to come as this country has a loaded pipeline of young talent ready to take the world by storm.

Motivational Morneau

He has never lacked the words to describe what baseball means to Canada.

For Justin Morneau, it’s both personal and a matter of national interest.

And he had some words of inspiration for Team Canada before they clinched a spot in the quarterfinals at the World Baseball Classic.

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.

Hamilton to the Hall

It was the Greg Hamilton those of us in the Canadian baseball community have come to know and respect so deeply.

Opinion: 5 Names for Canadian Hall Consideration

They were the mainstays on prairie baseball fields for years.

Their names are virtually synonymous with the maple leaf, helping show future generations that they, too, could have professional dreams.
