I am looking forward to growing the sport in Alberta and strongly believe in investing in our players, our coaches and our umpires. It goes without saying that 2020 was a year of many challenges on a variety of levels. We witnessed how a global pandemic changed our daily routines, severely impacted our economy and the way businesses operate, and shifted our focus from simply living a healthy and happy lifestyle to strictly obeying new and changing health and safety protocols. Baseball, and sport in general, was not immune to these effects. However Baseball Alberta, as a result of strong leadership and stewardship by past Boards of Directors, was able to weather this storm and will continue to be a leader in developing and furthering the sport in Alberta for years to come.
