While the following are getting recognized for what they have accomplished on the diamond, there were several behind the scenes that share this recognition of achievement.
Recently Chad and I hosted President of Baseball Canada, Ladner’s Ray Carter on the “Locker Room” on Delta TV for an interview where he shared some insight about the sport of baseball and what the future holds for Canada and the World.
