We stopped by the @BCSportsHall and loved the new artifacts on display from @Cdnmooselips33's 1997 NL MVP season!

Can you imagine not being allowed to watch baseball on a Sunday in Vancouver? Great article from @MONTECRISTO_Mag about a time when sports were outlawed on the Lord's Day https://t.co/n6o1gwHaWp

@thorn_john Can you imagine a come backer to a pitcher and the free shot they would get at the batter? Ouch.

[BaseballinVANCOUVER @baseballinvan]

@ubc_baseball Looks great! Can't wait until it's all finished up!

Please take a moment to remember Hall of Fame pitcher and former Vancouver Mounties manager Bob Lemon who passed away 18 years ago today at age 79.

He led the Mounties to a 71-73 record in 1969.

#TBT: Today's photo comes from the @BCArchives, showcasing an early game of baseball being played in 1896 in Kaslo BC. Miners, loggers and other workers in the 19th century would play the game as a break from their stressful jobs.
