Kris Holmstrom was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Known as “Homer”, Holmstrom was one of the most powerful and talented left-handed hitters in his 20 years of highly competitive baseball. He was named to many all-star teams at the midget, junior, and senior levels. Holmstrom batted .438 in his rookie season with the senior Elmwood Giants in 1993, and won the provincial title with them in ’94. He later went on to play with Legion 141 in 1998 where he drove in 8 of the team’s 19 runs in two straight provincial senior championship wins against the Birtle Blue Jays.
