From the Diamondbacks:
The BackPacks pulled together an impressive squad for the Canada Day long weekend in Kelowna. Players were sent by the Cardinals, Dukes, Wolfpack and Diamondbacks creating an outfield known as “Shark Week”, an infield which turned double plays into butter and a pitching staff that used 4 pitchers over 5 games – 3 of which went to extra innings and as a whole went undefeated 5-0.
The FMBA is a Men’s baseball league. Players must be 18+.
For any new players interested in playing in the upcoming 2016 season, complete the on-line Sign-Up form. Your information will be given to all team managers.
Each team sets its own team fees.
We have an upcoming manager meeting where League commitment fees will be due. We hope to see everyone there.
Date: Saturday, April 22

From Calgary Longhorns:
It’s with great sadness that I announce the passing of Wayne Leitch. Wayne was a original Longhorn and instrumental in starting the team in 1993. Not only was he one of the best players to ever play in the FMBA, he was a outstanding teammate and friend. He brought is college mentality to every game, and when you needed a big hit you wanted Wayne at the plate. His drag bunts were always perfect and no one could delay steal like Wayne. He always thought about other people first and was the most unselfish person I knew. He will be dearly missed but never forgotten. Number 4 will live on forever. I speak for everyone when I say THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND, TEAMMATE, WE LOVE YOU. Rest in Peace my friend.
