Tall Times in the West

By IAN WILSON Leroy Paige easily could have adopted the nickname “Satchel” for the amount of travel he did over a pitching career that spanned five decades. The lanky right-hander made a name for himself in the Negro Leagues long before he put his stamp on Major League Baseball (MLB), but he also played in the […]

Dominant John Donaldson

He was, in his prime, the best pitcher in the world.

In a playing career that covered more than three decades, John Donaldson traveled to hundreds of cities across North America, where he collected 413 wins and recorded 5,081 strikeouts.

Donaldson struck out more than 500 batters in three straight years and he registered 14 no-hitters, including one that dazzled baseball watchers in Saskatchewan.

Max Velocity

After seeing all that Western Canada has to offer, Max Poirier is ready for something different.

Born in Saskatchewan, raised in B.C. and now trained in Alberta, the Dawgs Academy product has now committed to the University of Miami.

He’s coming off a stellar year where he played for the Baseball Canada Junior National Team and starred at the Canadian Futures Showcase.

Jesson Keeps ‘Em Guessin’

It wasn’t until after the game that Tucker Jesson realized what had happened.

When he struck out Sam Thiessen in the bottom of the seventh to preserve a 1-0 lead, the young hurler had also completed his first career no-hitter.

The Regina product had simply wanted to save arms for the next games at the Ray Carter Cup.

Currie Up and Wait

Their current abode, Currie Field, is more than 60 years old and in need of major upgrades and repairs – ranging from only having one dressing room, a backstop that is held together with zip-ties and washroom facilities which operate off a septic tank system that can’t keep up with park usage.

Pride of Regina

His family spent years billeting young Regina Red Sox players.

Now, Zander Oudie-Senger is the one signing autographs for young fans at Currie Field.

The 21-year-old Okanagan College hurler will return for his third season with the Red Sox this summer.

The Title Trifecta

Regina’s Gavin Wuschke is looking to accomplish something few others have done before him.

The Balfour Collegiate High School product already has a Canadian College Baseball Conference and Western Canadian Baseball League title.

He would love nothing more than to win another championship with the Bellevue University Bruins of the NAIA.

No Doubt About Whitt

The 2026 World Baseball Classic can’t come fast enough for Ernie Whitt.

The Baseball Canada manager believes his team is on the cusp of getting into the championship bracket of the tournament if all the stars align – literally.

Whitt will be the guest speaker at the Regina Red Sox annual banquet April 20.

Making A Merk

Regina’s Ethan Merk has enjoyed success at every level of baseball.

From the Moose Jaw Miller Express to the Victoria Golden Tide to now with the Doane University Tigers, he’s taking it all in stride.
