Gerald Palidwor was born in Oakbank, Manitoba on May 27, 1957. He was a respected player, coach, and organizer of baseball in Manitoba. He first played for Springfield in the Manitoba Junior Baseball League. Palidwor went on to reorganize and develop the Winnipeg Junior “B” League, where teams he coached won the championship multiple times. Palidwor did not forget about his home town, however, and he continued to organize minor ball in Oakbank for many years. He also served as president of the Winnipeg Senior Baseball League and promoted and developed programs for the 40+ age group. On top of all of that, Palidwor used his technology and computer skills to develop league-wide sites for statistics that were still being used decades later.
