Let ‘Em Fly

Jake Lanferman is hoping to become a coach like the ones he was coached by.

Go down the list: Sheen Bromley, Ray Brown, Taylor Burns, Chris Pritchett, Jason Chatwood.

The Sherwood Park native is using their collective influence to carve out his own journey as the coach of the Edmonton Collegiate Hawks.

3 UP, 3 DOWN WITH SCOTT GILLESPIE

We are excited to be partnering with the Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) to bring you a series of player profiles this summer.

The new feature – which is called THREE UP, THREE DOWN – allows baseball fans to get to know some of the hitters and pitchers in the WCBL a bit better.

The first person to toe the rubber for these articles is Sherwood Park’s Scott Gillespie, a right-handed starting pitcher with the Edmonton Prospects.

The Final Out

There are final outs and then there are final outs.

The final out of a game. The final out of a series. The final out of a season. The final out of your final season.

Then there’s the last out that precedes a rain delay. Is it really the final out? Will this game start up again? Will we play the rest of this another day?

Such are the questions that come with rain delays.

Welcome to the season of coronavirus. It’s a season of uncertainty and one of far more questions than answers.
