Read More“He is Alberta’s Big Maple.
That’s a fitting nickname for Okotoks Dawgs ace Graham Brunner, who stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 225 pounds.
“My weight/strength coach (Ryan Swenson) at Illinois State this year called me that (Big Maple) because we didn’t have too many Canadians and I’m a heavier set guy,” explained Brunner. “So I kind of ran with it.”
The 22-year-old lefty, whose Twitter handle is @BigMaple29, has done the nickname proud while fellow Canuck southpaw James Paxton (Big Maple in major league circles) recuperates from Tommy John surgery.
Brunner is 6-0 with a 3.04 ERA in eight starts for the first-place Dawgs and his performance has earned him a selection to the Western Canadian Baseball League All-Star Game, which will take place at Seaman Stadium in Okotoks, Alta., on Saturday.”

Heroes get remembered but legends never die.
Or at least that’s what a dream-conjured Babe Ruth told us in the classic baseball movie The Sandlot.
Where Brad Goodwin fits on that hero/legend scale is hard to know, but he delivered one of the most magical moments of the 2022 Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) season and it won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
So stirring was the sequence of events it reminded many in attendance – and others who saw the pictures and viral videos after – of something straight out of Hollywood.”
