Another season of Dawgs baseball in the WMBL has started. To those that don't know, the league is comprised of college and university players from Canada and the United States. It's developmental league where players come to hone thier skills. The season starts June 1st and ends on around the 15th of August as players return to thier school's. Many players from the league have been drafted by MLB teams.
Seaman Stadium is a slice of heaven. There are no bad seats in the house and it's a great atmosphere to watch a ball game. Admission is very reasonable as $10 gets you any seat in the stadium and $5 gets a place on the grass berm on the left field line. Food and beer prices are very reasonable also. I should add they make a great hamburger and hotdog.
