A Must-Read for Every Canadian Baseball Fan: “Canadian Baseball Stories From Coast To Coast”

ree

There’s a magic to baseball in Canada. It’s not just about box scores, big-league debuts, or national tournaments, it’s about stories. The stories that live in dugouts, dusty ballfields, late-night drives to away games and under the lights of summer nights in small towns from Victoria to St. John’s.


That’s the heartbeat of my newest book:

“Canadian Baseball Stories From Coast To Coast” — now available on Amazon.


More Than a Game — It’s a National Story

From Beachville’s legendary 1838 game to the current rise of Canadian-born MLB stars, baseball has woven itself into our national identity, sometimes loudly, sometimes quietly, but always meaningfully.


This book is a tribute to that journey. It’s a collection of short stories, myths, local legends, historical moments and personal reflections that shine a light on the often-overlooked corners of Canadian baseball history.


What You’ll Find Inside the Pages

🧢 Regional Chapters

Each section highlights a province or territory’s contribution to the game, from prairie towns that shovel snow off fields in March to the maritime programs that produce tough, smart competitors.


🧢 Short Story Format

The book is built for readers who love quick, compelling narratives. Each story is a standalone look at a piece of baseball history, a moment, a legend, a person, that helped shape the Canadian baseball landscape.


🧢 Historical & Current Profiles

You’ll meet players who paved the way (Ferguson Jenkins, Jeff Heath, Larry Walker), present-day pros (Josh Naylor, Tyler O’Neill), and the next generation (Owen Caissie, Denzel Clarke, Jonah Tong and others who debuted in 2025).


🧢 Folklore & Fun

Yes — there’s even a story about a mythical game played on a frozen lake with bases made of ice. Because Canadian baseball isn’t just real, it’s legendary.


🧢 Grassroots to Greatness

From volunteer coaches and Little Leaguers to National Championship teams and Olympic-level coaching, the book celebrates the people and communities who live and breathe baseball at every level.


Why This Book Matters

If you’re a fan of baseball, you need this book. It’s not a stat-heavy encyclopedia. It’s not a dry history. It’s the story of Canadian baseball, told through its people, places, perseverance and pride.


It’s also a reminder that greatness doesn’t always start in the spotlight. Sometimes, it starts in a gym with rolled-up turf, in a snowstorm batting cage, or at a dusty tournament with a borrowed glove and big dreams.
