Hello, everyone:

A number of teams, including all AAA Division teams, had set up pre-season games for this week.

Due to the extraordinarily hot weather, many activities in western Canada are being cancelled and many of our CSMS League teams have already decided to cancel this week’s pre-season games. While teams may do as they wish, we wanted to let you know that many teams are deciding to stay out of the heat this week and suggest that that is probably a very wise thing.

Let’s hope for some cooler weather next week for ‘Opening Day’ of the first regular games since 2019.

Stay cool, dudes.

Hello, League:

The CSMS League is sponsoring a second First Aid Safety Awareness Session on Saturday, July 17th, from 9:00am to 3:00pm.

This course is FREE to League participants, but spaces are limited to the first 15 to sign up.

The course will be held at Posh Safety Services and taught by Georgina Nicholls who did an amazing job on our first one. 102A – 3506 – 118 Avenue S.E., Calgary. Please park on the street. www.poshsafety.com

If you would like to attend, email John Schmidt at john.sch@shaw.ca with ‘1st Aid Course’ in the subject line.

First aid training is not at all a bad idea to have on the diamonds.

Best regards,

Gary Paukert

VP/Communications Director

Good Morning, League Members!

I’m pleased to be able to announce an historic step forward in the growth of our League. In our 40th year, CSMS League Day Ball is now ‘A Thing,’ (as the kids say these days).

Last night the first 60 Day Ball men were drafted to five NEW Day Ball teams. Those teams and their managers are:

• Brew Jays (Don McKillop and Brian Caouette)
• The Lords of Darkness (Gary Paukert and Dave Finn)
• Men of the Shale (Len Seib and Brad Campbell)
• Rebels (Rudy Mayer)
• Variants (Ed Thurmeier)

Games will be played on Mondays and Fridays starting July 5th at the Charleswood 1 and 2 diamonds. Game times are 10:00am, 11:30am and 1:00pm. Players who were drafted should have received a notice from TeamPages by now, and will likely also hear directly from your coach/manager.

Rosters can already be viewed on the TeamPages website. Schedules will be uploaded shortly.

We wish all the participants in the inaugural season of CSMS League Day Ball a fun and safe summer season.

Cheers,

Gary Paukert
CSMS League Communications Director

Guys, following up on the lost bat Monday night. A fairly worn Miken Freak bat was found at Charleswood 2 on Monday night after the evaluation session. This is NOT the DiMarini bat that was reported lost.

Incredibly sleuthful deduction: Whoever lost the Miken Freak picked up the DiMarini by mistake and has it in his bag.

So guys, have a look in your bat bags. Someone has a bat that is not theirs.

Contact Ed Thurmeier at etcalhom1@gmail.com

Thanks

Gary
