Six Nations standout Kaleb Thomas turning the heads of scouts
“You’re more likely to find a lacrosse stick than a baseball bat in Six Nations of the Grand River, a First Nations community southwest of Hamilton, Ont. But at the Thomas home, baseball is the name of the game. Brad and Cindy Thomas both played ball in their younger days and passed on their love of the game to their sons Kaden – who plays minor baseball in Brantford – and 16-year-old Kaleb, a pitcher-infielder with the Mississauga Tigers High Performance Program who Perfect Game has their eye on as a promising high school athlete.”

Langdon: Bobby Smyth built fences, ball diamonds and more in Etobicoke
“There is a 10-foot extension atop a chain link fence that protects a house on a hill overlooking a ball field in Etobicoke in west end Toronto. It was known by neighbourhood kids in the 1960s as ‘the fence that Smyth built.’ Almost 60 years later, the post-World War II bungalow on the hill has been replaced by a modern ‘monster’ home, but that extended, weather-beaten fence on the edge of Lambton-Kingsway Park still stands. It represents a beginning of the amateur ball legacy of Etobicoke’s own Bob Smyth.”
