The WCBL season has come to an end and the Okotoks Dawgs are your 2019 champions. We spoke with Managing Director John Ircandia on what it meant to win the title this year and about stadiums. John helped bring the Dawgs to Calgary but when the City wanted pro baseball he built his own stadium and moved the team to Okotoks where they are thriving and helping the community in a big way. The Prospects are facing an uncertain future at ReMax Field right now and John is warning the City of Edmonton to not make the same mistakes Calgary did with Burns Stadium now empty. Jordan and Dean also discussed the red hot Phillies and Indians in MLB, our usual Fantasy Baseball round up and this week we listed our all time starting 5 pitching staff. You won't believe who Jordan has in his all time staff. Plus we shared more of our baseball memories and Kirk Gibson '88 finally came up!!!

Edmonton Prospects owner Pat Cassidy on what is happening this week in regards to his team's future in the river valley. Full interview and episode later today. 

The Prospects lost the battle with mother nature this year, but persevered and came out perfect from a marathon weekend. 3 games Saturday, 2 Sunday and one on Monday, or an average of a 3 straight double headers and they won them all. In doing so they clinched a playoff spot and will take on Okotoks starting Thursday. They head into the post season on a 7 game heater!!! Jordan and Dean were joined by Prospects pitching coach Austin Guzzo who did a masterful job of managing his pitching staff during the loooooonnnnnnngggggggg weekend and even put on a show Saturday night in getting tossed from the game. Dean and Jordan discussed their favourite starting pitchers of all time and who they think the best of all time is and we have tickets for this Friday's playoff game up for grabs in Take Me Out To The Ball Game Trivia. We also dove into Fantasy Baseball with some big weeks from Jordan and Dean's clubs and we announced our intentions to form a Prospects Baseball Show Fantasy Baseball League next year.

Edmonton's Madison Willan is a rising star in baseball, hockey and golf. She'll be suiting up for the power house Panda's hockey program at the U of A this fall and next month will try to help Canada dominate at the Women's Baseball World Cup qualifier in Mexico. She made her national team debut last World Cup in grand style helping Canada win bronze. Madison is a great role model as she hasn't and doesn't plan on specializing in just one sport. Dean and Jordan also discussed the best RP in All Time Team, recapped the MLB HOF ceremony and a long All Star week of Fantasy Baseball. Of course your chance to watch free baseball as well, as the Prospects charge towards the playoffs. Enjoy. Subscribe. Review!!!
