World Baseball Challenge

Soooo very sorry to learn late yesterday of the passing of Larry Seminoff of Grand Forks, BC. Terrible news, especially during the annual Grand Forks International (GFI) Baseball Tournament — which he founded, along with the World Baseball Challenge — without Larry, so much of my baseball life would not exist, and Prince George would never have held those amazing tournaments, as he founded the tournament in GF in 2002.

My baseball mentor. I will miss our calls and his insistence that Mookie Betts is the best player in baseball, a die hard Red Sox fan — a true gentleman. No one ever said a mean word about him.

The real story is former WBChallenge pitcher Sonny Gray of the Minnesota Twins, who pitched against the Prince George Westcana Electric Axemen in 2009 at Citizen Field, just beat the Blue Jays to send them to the sidelines.
