West Toronto Finalists at TBA Playoffs


I'm very proud of all players and the families, for their commitment to playing "team baseball". We set out goals this year and although not completely accomplished, we were in position to do so. (Finalists: Elims and TBA). 1 more tourney left..... Ontario Provincial Championships "To be a champion, you have to see the big picture. It's not about winning and losing; it's about every day hard work and about thriving on a challenge. It's about embracing the pain that you'll experience at the end of a race and not being afraid. It's about being in a situation and believing you deserve to be there". Great job this weekend!!!
