	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. Indian Head Rockets For a few seasons in the early 1950s, the Rockets were among the prime attractions in Western Canada baseball, both in league, tournament and exhibition play. In 1950, their first season, the Rockets were the Jacksonville, Florida, Eagles, in new uniforms. 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. The Basin League The mainly South Dakota semi-pro circuit became a training ground for collegiate stars. The league operated for 21 years, 1953 to 1973. 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

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