May Recap & “Studs of the Month”

May has come and gone, and we are already ⅓ of the way done the season just like that. It’s been a hot one – only 3 games were postponed to rain, knock on wood (this has to be a new all time low btw). At this pace, we might just start the playoffs in July for the first time in a decade. Another highlight I’d like to mention is there were zero waiver infractions this season – awesome job teams!

The story on the field this year has been about offense. Maybe it is the unprecedented hot weather, maybe players are using torpedo bats, or possibly having something to do with the league supply of baseball’s – but each game seems to have one or both teams scoring in double digits. Pitchers may need to get in some more bullpen work to cool down the bats.

And now for the real highlight – the Studs of the Month returns in 2025. We are excited to have a couple new sponsors – big shoutout to Papi Sunglasses, and Calgary Septic and Water, both local businesses. The biggest offensive and pitching “studs” will receive a sick pair of shades to show off.

FMBA 2025 Season

The 2025 season is somehow just about here, with FMBA Opening Day set for May 02.

The league is sadly down to 10 teams this season as the Canadians are hopefully only taking a sabbatical for the year, so the remaining teams will now play a 23 game schedule (up from 22 last year).

So get those pants drycleaned, get those bats re-taped, maybe tell a friend or two to come watch / announce / DJ, and lets play some ball! Looking forward to seeing everyone out on the diamond this year!

2024 Champion Calgary Diamondbacks

Well that’s a wrap. Congratulations to the Diamondbacks who take home their FIFTH title in a row! And 7th in 9 seasons. Dynasty Warriors!

Shoutout to the Dinos on a great run this year as well. It was a couple of great squads who went at it in the finals, as it should be.

That was a darn fun season. Lots of competition, lots of new faces in the league. From an old timer I gotta say it’s great to see! We’ll catch ya’ll again next spring for another fun summer of FMBA baseball. Can’t wait.
