On behalf of our Oshawa Legionaires players, their families, and our coaching staff, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude for an exceptional experience at this year’s tournament. We had an amazing time competing in the tournament, and then afterwards at the CNE…On a personal note, I was fortunate enough to play in the tournament myself in the 1980s, and our team went pretty deep in the tournament, which included several trips to the CNE, and was one of the best experiences of my own (very modest) baseball career. Being able to bring our team, including my own son, meant so much to me as both a coach, and a father.
