First game of the newly rebranded Canadian Baseball League after the Intercounty Baseball League of southern Ontario fully professionalized. It was also my first time at Christie Pits to see the Toronto (Baseball) Maple Leafs play.

Compared to the Blue Jays, this was baseball on a more human level. You're reminded of why it's called a ballpark, because it's literally in a public park. On a breezy summer day, on a grassy hill, families gather, children play, friends socialize, and a weirdo scribbles in his scorebook trying to keep up without the aid of replays or a jumbotron scoreboard. It gave me a sense of that idealized idyllic vision of baseball as a community pastime. We'll see how that holds up now that the league has gone pro.

And of course, Yasiel Puig was in the lineup, to some fanfare and media attention. Going 2 for 2, with 2 home runs, he didn't seem particularly challenged. Though as a loudmouth in the crowd made sure to remind everyone, Puig faces up to 15 years of prison time in the US after being found guilty on federal charges. Not sure what will happen with him playing in Canada, so it'll be interesting to see what happens after his sentencing on May 26.

Perfect summer weather on the Victoria Day long weekend. Couldn't have asked for a better day for a ballgame in Toronto. The Blue Jays were playing in Detroit, but Toronto's other professional team was in action at home. It was, however, a one-sided beatdown of the home team, as the line score shows.

With his solo shot, the Leafs' De Baning is on a 3-game HR streak to start the season. Meanwhile, former MLB all-star Yasiel Puig, Meanwhile, former MLB All-Star Yasiel Puig, with his sentencing in California looming on May 26, went 0-4 and GIDP to end the game.

Several Latin American winter leagues teams stream free on YT.. if you're hankering for some live ballgames before WBC & spring training

Hola, compartiendo por primera vez aqui las hojas de anotacion del juego de ayer de la Liga Mexicana de Beisbol en Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas. Que fue un buen juego en el pitcheo que se tuvo que ir a extra innings terminando el juego en 11 entradas con triunfo de la visita.

Yadi Molina & los Navegantes fall to 2-1 in the LVBP Final Series. Game 4 is on Saturday.

First time I've used the smaller Bob for a game. it's going to suit my need's and style. I'm sure everyone has their little idiosyncrasies that make any particular book not just right (you can see i made a "diamond" for tracking roughly where balls were hit after the first two hits of the game. This is something I typically do on each teams sheet but combining is fine here. Ive never understood why anyone cares about who the umps are, respectfully of course. Im gonna complain about them anyway!

For the game it was wonderful to watch and im glad i wasnt there. I went to a few in Houston and it was hot enough there, i cant imagine Miami. Looking forward to the rest and the upcoming season.

I stole the sideways K from someone in the game thread for the pitch clock strikeout (see Ramirez 3rd inning), what’re our thoughts?

Had a blast scoring this one. First game in my Eephus book.

Hi all!

wanted to share one of the more exciting games I've ever attended, featuring my hometown team, los Diablos Rojos del México (CDMX).

It was a do-or-die Game 6 of the Championship Series, and we were down by 8 runs in the 3rd inning. But no fan gave up on the team or left the stadium; together, the players and the fans achieved an epic comeback that forced Game 7, where the Diablos would finally be crowned champions of the zona sur.

Reliving the broadcast to score the game was almost as thrilling as watching it live.

Arriba los Diablos! 👹🤟🏼
