Dennis Wiebe was born in Rivers, Manitoba in 1947. Wiebe was a strong fielder, a fierce pitcher, and consistent hitter. He threw a deceptive curveball and perfected the “Wiebe Pickoff”. Wiebe was an all-star first-baseman in 1973 and 1974. He was a great team player, and was previously inducted into the Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame as a part of four teams, including the 1964-69 Rivers Comets, the 1967 Brandon Parklane Juniors, the 1966-71 Brandon Cloverleafs, and the 1988-92 Giroux Athletics.
