“Blue Jays fans gasped when they saw the famous home run jacket return last week when Bo Bichette hit a two-run home run in the 9-2 win over the Chicago White Sox.
It was the first time the jacket had been seen since the end of the 2022 season. Too much frivolity or so management and some fans thought. And the bosses were right when someone would go deep to cut the Jays deficit to 9-2 as everyone in the dugout was pranced and danced.
Yet, another jacket was on display in the GTA since opening day in Central Ontario Association play. The night after Bichette homered -- centre fielder Jayden (The Jet) Felipe-Abug hit an inside-the-park home run as the Mississauga North Tigers beat the Mississauga Southwest Twins 14-6 at Meadowvale Park. As Felipe-Abug slid into home plate the third base dugout reacted as if someone had hit a fire alarm.”

“Jaden Babiuk is hoping he can accomplish something in college that only five players have done in Major League Baseball history.
After taking the field at five positions for the Valley City State University Vikings in 2024, the St. Albert product started thinking about the potential of playing all nine positions in a single game.
Only Bert Campaneris, Cesar Tovar, Scott Sheldon, Shane Halter and Andrew Romine have done it at the MLB level.
And while he wouldn’t be able to do it with 10 teams like Will Ferrell did in Spring Training, Babiuk says it is on his bucket list heading into his senior season with the Vikings.”

“Howard Birnie’s induction into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame next month is believed to be the first such honour for a snack bar attendant.
Known as Howie to his many diamond friends and associates, Birnie has spent innumerable hours over almost countless years serving cold drinks, doling out penny and nickel candy and making change in the small, red-brick snack bar sandwiched between the first base grandstand and the bottom of a high hill at Talbot Park, home of the Leaside Baseball Association (LBA) in east end Toronto.
He spent a similar amount of time dragging and watering the infield, pounding the sand around the mound and home plate, anchoring the bases and chalking the foul lines at the venerable sandlot often called “The Shrine” by some in the Toronto baseball community.”

Moose Jaw Miller Express coach Eric Marriott did what any sensible human would do: listen.
In this case, it was Marriott’s pitching coach and former Detroit Tigers hurler Dustin Molleken who was singing the praises of Nathan Houston.

“Zander Oudie-Senger will never say “no” to signing an autograph for a young fan around Currie Field.
After all, it wasn’t that long ago that the Regina Red Sox pitcher was a kid with a Sharpie and a baseball in hand, hoping to get his favourite players to do the same.
Not only was he a regular to games with his Nana, but Oudie-Senger’s family also billeted several players over the years.
“Each player that came into our house felt like an older brother,” he told Saskatchewan Dugout Stories. “All of those guys have shed light into our family and I couldn’t be more grateful for each of them.”
Now entering his third season with the hometown team, the 21-year-old will be a veteran presence on a team looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2023.”
