“The nice thing about Lloyd minor ball in comparison to maybe some other sports, it’s all local kids so everybody knows somebody who knows somebody. As long as they know they’re playing and it’s nice out lots of people come out to the ballpark and watch.”
Walker says even though the season is short, Canadian baseball is an awesome environment for the kids.
