Ashford, Calgary’s Unsung Hero While several Pioneers may be closing out this season with awards and accolades, left fielder Jim Ashford won’t be among them. The 35 year old hadn’t played in the BBA since 2052, spending the past 3 years in the GBC, so he was happy just to sign again with a big leag...

Calgary’s Rookie Hurlers Shine Calgary has been building a stockyard full of pitching prospects for several years and several of these pitchers made their debut this year in pivotal roles. Nearly half of the team’s starts were by rookies and two of them have earned votes for the Gillstrom Rookie Aw...

Long Calgary’s Top Rookie It has been a long time since Calgary had a crop of rookies as good as this year’s, not only in talent, but in their contribution to the team. Three of the team’s rookies have garnered votes for the Gillstrom Award with third baseman Ollie Long the current leader. The last...

Just One More Win The Calgary Pioneers came within 1 win of breaking their 5 year playoff drought, losing to Boise in a tiebreaker 7-4. Boise scored 5 runs in the 1st inning off starter Ghi-Cheng Yu and the Pioneers never recovered. The team finished the season at 89-74. Boise. “Well that isn’t how...

Congrats to Boise!

First time I've ever been in a tie breaker. Gotta hope that Stinson or Donadoni bring their power bat.

Thomas Jefferson is happy to have him back with the organization. Remind him to not forget his teeth.

Please convert the following players into coaches for these assignments. If possible, I prefer they be "normal"

Joel Ottoboni PC at Quebec A

Bilbo Baggins Manager at Chestermere R

Frank Boland PC at Chestermere R

Article will follow tomorrow.

I third the motion and would be happy to serve.

I got savaged in the R5. Like $20M worth of bonuses gone. Sorry, it was probably a dick move taking Chavez, but he was too good to pass up. The funny thing is I took your guy earlier in the round. And he was the guy that I went back and forth with about protecting. Figured he'd be picked for sure, ...

Brody Rumored to be Out Rumors are flying in Calgary that the team may be getting ready to fire manager Nicholas Brody .

Stinson and Donodoni Win Pucketts Two Calgary Pioneers have won post season awards this year with Larry Stinson and Carlomaria Donadoni both receiving the JL Charles Puckett Golden Bat Award for their respective positions. For Stinson, this was the eighth time he has received the award, Donodoni’s ...

Welcome to Canada guys.

Glad you are staying with the league, would be a big loss if you left. I've got three kids with journalism/communication degrees, none doing pure journalism, all making more money than me. Your skill set should translate into many other fields. Good luck with the search. Going to be looking myself l...

Glad he finally amounted to something. Just couldn’t play him over Tate when he was here because of the bat.

Stinson had a crazy good stretch didn't he! Poor Jax!

What a stud. Shoulda been an Outlaw for life.

one of the best trades I ever made. If I recall, the Outlaws had cap issues or he was refusing to negotiate or something.
