We did it, we made it to the end of the season. The season is so short in some ways, and yet I can’t even remember what happened even last month. Baseball life amirite?

The White Sox took the regular season title wrapping up the #1 seed as they finished July/August strong going 5-2. Both the Dukes and Dinos enter playoffs equally as hot with a same winning percentage (.714) over the last month of games, however no team enters playoffs hotter than the Guns who went 5-1 with 3 dimes, and 3 shutouts. The final playoff spot came down to the final scheduled game of the year between the Longhorns and Wolfpack. As it turned out, the Wolfpack won allowing the Wolfpack & Twins to advance to the playoffs on a 3-way tie breaker. Every game matters!

And now for your Studs of the Month. Our sponsors Papi Sunglasses, and Calgary Septic and Water are awesome. The biggest offensive and pitching “studs” will receive a pair of shades to show off. Special shoutout to Tim Wiebe who organizes all the prizes.

Well as per usual, the weather in June was absolutely brutal. I guess that’s why we call it June Monsoon. In total we saw 15 games postponed due to rain, with our schedule now stretching into mid August with makeup dates.

The standings have tightened up a bit, as we now see the Giants and White Sox in a race for first with the Giants having a couple games in hand. On the other end of the standings it is going to be a dog fight for the last playoff spot. Someone is going to get their heart broken, every single remaining game is important so stay tuned in July. The Cardinals are the only team who have been eliminated, but looks for them to play spoiler late.

And now for your Studs of the Month. Our sponsors Papi Sunglasses, and Calgary Septic and Water continue to get a big shoutout. Special thanks to Tim Wiebe who organizes all the prizes. The biggest offensive and pitching “studs” will receive a pair of shades  to show off.

Well we ended May on a bit of a sour note today with our first four rainouts of the season, but other than that the weather has been amazing after a very long winter, and the baseball was fantastic.

Like the last couple of years offense continues to dominate the league with some very high scoring games. There were 46 home runs in the month of May in 44 games, so roughly 1 per game. Pitchers need to figure it out! We unfortunately also saw 3 games forfeited due to waivers which is tough to see, especially when every game matters so much in the standings. Let’s hope we don’t see anymore.

The White Sox have taken the early pole position courtesy their offense as they lead the league in most offensive categories. There is a lot of baseball left but they look tough thus far. The Dinos meanwhile have not played a single game yet, so with college season now over look to see them at the ballpark a lot in June. Lastly, there is going to be a battle for the final playoff position as the standings look like a bit of a logjam right now.

And now for your Studs of the Month. Just like last year, we have two sponsors Papi Sunglasses, and Calgary Septic and Water, both local businesses. Big thank you to them! The biggest offensive and pitching “studs” will receive a pair of shades  to show off.

We’ve made it! The 48th season of FMBA baseball is underway starting today as the Longhorns will open up vs the Twins at 6:30pm, with 8 more games slated this weekend. We’ve seen a few changes this offseason at the league executive with a couple new volunteers, and a few old faces returning. Big thanks to all of them, they put in a lot of work behind the scenes to get things underway and keep the league running, and it really is a thankless job. So thank you guys!

The FMBA remains strong with 10 teams and we will see another 23 game marathon before playoffs start. A couple big questions: can last year’s champions the White Sox defend their title with the target on their back now? Also – how many rainout dates will we have this year? (Hopefully zero). And lastly from an old timers perspective – just who are half the players in this league? Seriously, we have seen a big influx of new players on rosters this offseason, it is awesome to see.

Good luck to all teams, let’s have some fun! As in previous seasons we will be doing monthly awards so stay tuned!

Congrats to the White Sox on a hard fought series win over the Diamondbacks, their first championship as a long time member of this great league. It came down to the last inning, Game 3 was an amazing game and it could have gone either way.

This concludes the 2025 season, but we’ll be back again in May 2026. See you all next year, love you all!
