Major Leaguers   Western Canada players who progressed all the way to the major leagues or former major leaguers who found a home in Western Canada as they wrapped up their careers.
  

Negro Leagues/Cuban Connection   The prairies become a summer home to many "coloured" (the term generally in use in the 50s) players who found opportunity here with the demise of the Negro Leagues in the United States.  In pre-Castro times, Cuba was a prime source of baseball talent for prairie teams. 

Barnstorming   Touring clubs, from the Negro League Kansas City Monarchs and the House of David to the Japanese team which became the Tokyo Giants were a highlight of the spring and summer program in the west.  

The Ligon Colored All-Stars   During the late 40s and early 50s, the Ligon All-Stars were among the most prominent of the barnstorming teams. 
  

College Connection    Beginning in the late 40s, prairie leagues began to showcase some of the best of the American university players as US college coaches recognized an opportunity to provide high calibre competition for their players in a setting aware from the watching eyes of the NCAA.

Fresno State Connection    Pete Beiden, the FSU coach, was a leader in finding lineup spots for his players in Canada.  Fresno was, by far, the leading supplier of college players to Western Canada teams.

College of the Sequoias   Roy Taylor, the COS coach, not only brought up dozens of Sequoias' players to his teams in Canada, but recruited Canadian stars for his Visalia school program.

Barnstorming California Mohawks   The California club, led by Pete Beiden and Roy Taylor, led the college invasion.  

Portrait of a Young Arm   In an era where 200-inning seasons and complete games are rarities and young pitchers are guided by pitch counts, we look back 50 years, game-by-game,  at Jack Altman's 365-inning, 34 complete game, 431 strikeout  season
  

I remember   personal recollections of the people and places in the 50s & 60s

Lethbridge Reunion    Nearly a dozen pages of info and pictures on the 2000 reunion of players who suited up with George Wesley's Granum and Lethbridge ball clubs in the 50s & 60s. 
  

List of Players    the list of who played where

Biographies  (off-line for the time being until I get a chance to really do something with this section)
  

Hockey Connection   there was a time when some of the best stars on ice were also regulars on prairie diamonds
  

Timeline   it was a tumultuous time,  marking the beginning of space exploration, the start of rock and roll, personal computers, and the framework for the the suburban lifestyle.
