Shushkewich: Gregg living his dream in the Blue Jays' organization
"Unpacking in his new digs on the Florida coast, infielder Owen Gregg was taking in the moment.
The 17-year-old has had a whirlwind few weeks, travelling across the country and down to Central America before winding up in Dunedin – but this time it was different.
Gregg wasn’t here for pleasure or to play in front of scouts, a task he had done numerous times over the past year. He was here on business, as the Oakville, Ont., product was now a Toronto Blue Jays baseball player, a move that became official back in mid-July after signing a minor league contract following the MLB draft."

Wilson: Grizzled, resilient Dawgs repeat the three-peat
"These are no Greyhounds.
And they won’t win any ribbons at the Westminster Dog Show.
No, this breed is more of a junkyard dog or an older canine tasked with guard duty on the porch – a bit surly, fairly grizzled and totally committed to protecting the house. Not quite as unhinged as Cujo, but definitely carrying the reputation of “The Beast” from the classic baseball movie The Sandlot.
These are your 2024 Okotoks Dawgs, winners of a third consecutive Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) championship. "
