The Open Road

Matt Coutney has taken the term “roadtrip” to a whole new level.

While some might be tired of driving along the highway after a long season of professional baseball, the Wetaskiwin native has created a new pre-Spring Training tradition.

Stealing the Show

You would be hard-pressed to find a more memorable opening weekend of professional baseball than the one Eric Hartman had.

The St. Albert native and Dawgs Academy grad may have come back to Earth later in 2025, but he learned plenty of lessons in his first pro season.

Lethbridge Expos: All-Time Team

The Montreal Expos broke new ground for Canadian baseball.

The club was the first Major League Baseball (MLB) team in the country, and when they established a minor-league outpost in Lethbridge, it was the first affiliated, professional squad to play in Alberta.

Six Storylines to Watch in 2026

As we went through the 2025 baseball season, we didn’t really realize just how many stories we were writing.

Entering 2026, we realize we’ll definitely be busier with a laundry list of major events and personal performances that will likely dominate the headlines.

Dodger Dynasty

When Reno Lizzi first brought professional baseball to Lethbridge, little did he know he was on a collision course with the team he grew up idolizing.

Over the course of the next four years, the Lethbridge Dodgers would claim three Pioneer League championships under manager Gail Henley.

In The Cards: 1987 Edmonton Trappers

Our latest “In The Cards” looks back at the Trappers of that season, who had a largely underwhelming season.

In The Cards: 1984 Edmonton Trappers

The 1984 Edmonton Trappers were the first Canadian team to win a Pacific Coast League (PCL) championship.

The Trappers would go on to claim three more PCL titles over the course of their existence, but this one had some strong underdog vibes to it.

The Pat in the Hat

Booted baseballs, hotel hijinks and rowdy road trips punctuated their pursuit of the pennant.

These were the star-studded Medicine Hat Blue Jays of 1982 and Pat Borders was right in the middle of it all.

Bone Rattling

Calgary baseball fans just couldn’t wait to see the rising star outfielder suit up for the home team.

And in the spring of 1989, that wish came true, even if it didn’t quite seem like it at the time.

While season ticket holders of the Cannons were eagerly awaiting the arrival of future Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr., the Seattle Mariners – the parent club of the Triple-A Calgary team – sent up-and-coming Jay Buhner to Foothills Stadium instead.
