Western Canada Baseball may always be a work in progress. Ironic isn't it? There's always something new to uncover about the past. The aim is pretty basic -- an attempt to rediscover the joys of baseball on the prairies back in those much simpler (and many would say, better) times. A look back at a tumultuous period in North America. It's a tip of the cap to some extraordinary people who filled out those tattered uniforms at Sportsman's Park and other dusty fields across the prairies. Much remains to be done. There's a wealth of information to be uncovered. But, it's a start. Enjoy, Jay-Dell Mah Why it's worthwhile: " ... Thank you for recording my small scratch in the sand of baseball history. It's true that I wasn't very good, but I had the opportunity to enjoy all the pleasures that this wonderful game has to offer. I will always treasure that, and if nothing else, through your site I'll be able to verify to my grandchildren that people really did come to see me play." Greg Seastrom " ... My father played for Edmonton in 1958 after winning a National Championship at SC. Today my father is 64 years old and ... the Internet is a little above his head. None the less, I showed him and my friends and family your site. My father was amazed, along with the rest of us. Great site ... My father's face was unforgettable when he saw his picture and all his old friends. I grew up hearing stories about my father playing here or there so it was nice to actually see what it was all about. I commend you and your site. Your site is a perfect example of all the good the internet has to offer. The enjoyment my dad got from seeing his old friends and teammates was priceless. Keep up the good work. Impressed
and thankful,

From About.Com, Baseball : "I get a lot of questions from people about the history of the minor leagues. I found one that's a real gem. Jay-Dell Mah has put together an outstanding website dealing with baseball history in Western Canada. He's got team photos, rosters, stats and other info from western Canadian teams in the 1950s -1960s era. I can't even fathom how much work it took to round up all the stuff he's got here--check it out:"
