The Western Canadian Baseball League season is in full swing and there are a number of players we’re excited to renew acquaintances with this summer.

Play ball!

Opening Day for the Western Canadian Baseball League is set for Thursday, May 28th across Alberta and Saskatchewan and teams are ready to begin their pursuit of the Harry Hallis Memorial Trophy, which is awarded annually to the WCBL champion.
