    Winnipeg Goldeyes

    I watch the Winnipeg Goldeyes a few dozen games a year in the ever shrinking Northern League. We have had a few players like Sherill, Bobby Madritsch, and Zimmerman move from Winnipeg to the bigs, but most of the time it's a motley collection of minor leauge wash outs and guys clinging to the dream. But the baseball is fun, the stadium is beautiful, it draws 6000 fans plus a game, more than a lot of triple A clubs, and let's us enjoy our too brief summer.

    King Kaufman, you should venture up here and do a series of stories on the Northern League. (Plus you can take in some CFL action)
