Yeah . . . the Cannons.
I lived in Wildwood at the time and would ride my bike to Edworthy, then up the hill and eventually get to the stadium about the third inning and walk right in without having to pay (for some reason), lean the bike up against the fence on the third base line and stand and watch a bunch of the game before getting home before sunset. Great way to spend summer evenings all around.
Saw Alex Rodriguez hit a monster home run against the Cannons, just before he got to the majors. Another year, I went to a Mariners game in Seattle and eight of the ten guys in the Mariners lineup had played in Calgary in the previous two years.
These days, I check out the Dawgs in Okotoks once in a while as I life southwest of the city.
