Currie Up and Wait

If the Regina Red Sox had it their way, they would have been playing in a new baseball stadium yesterday.

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.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

When it comes to the Western Canadian Baseball League, Ian Regnier channeled his inner Johnny Cash this summer.

No, he didn’t walk the line or become the man in black.

But his adventures across Alberta and Saskatchewan evoked memories of Cash’s classic hit song I’ve Been Everywhere.

Mid-Summer Magic

Sweltering heat, a stuffed Seaman Stadium, and a star-studded cast of Western Canadian Baseball League talent punctuated the 2024 All-Star Game.

Despite temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius, an elated record crowd of 6,064 baseball fans showed up to take in the signature WCBL event in Okotoks.

Holding Steady

The more things stay the same, the more they’re ready for change.

There’s little movement in the Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) Power Rankings this week, compared to last week, but the potential for more risers and fallers remains.

While the top four spots are secure for now, there has been some change in the middle of the standings.

Taste of Home

It was a homecoming like no other for Tyler Vanneste.

The Warman, Saskatchewan native was able to play in his old high school digs in Saskatoon during a recent roadtrip to visit the Berries.

He also welcomed his Medicine Hat Mavericks teammates to his parents’ home for a delicious feast.

Gulls Flying High

Riding an 11-game winning streak (and counting), the Sylvan Lake Gulls have taken over top spot in the weekly WCBL Power Rankings.

However, their position will be put to the test with a series this week against the #2-ranked Okotoks Dawgs.

See how the rest of the WCBL Power Rankings affected the rest of the teams here.

The hometown product is loving the opportunity to play with the expansion team, and joined us recently to talk about it for the latest installment of “7th Inning Stretch.”

Dawgs Got The Power

As Canada celebrated its 157th birthday, the battle for top spot in the Western Canadian Baseball League continued to heat up.

Winning streaks were snapped, potential playoff battles took centre stage while a couple of teams struggled to put an end to their respective losing streaks.
