Randy Robertson was born in Hamiota, Manitoba on June 7, 1966. Early in his career, Robertson was a top player. He was on teams that won provincial championships at the beaver, bantam, and midget levels. His Souris team won a silver medal at Western Canadians in 1979, and Robertson was the all-star catcher for the tournament. In 1982, while in the midget league, he was selected to attend and elite development camp in Edmonton. In 1984, Robertson was selected to attend a try-out for the Team Canada youth team, though he did not end up making the cut. In the Manitoba Senior Baseball League (MSBL), his career only lasted from 1984-89, but his lifetime batting average was .352. Furthermore, his 25 stolen bases in one season set a league record that was still standing when the league dispended, never to be beaten. Robertson was also a part of the Hamiota Red Sox team that won three MSBL pennants and one championship within the span of just a few years. In Hamiota, Robertson coached minor ball from 1985 through 1988, and he also ran a camp for elite youth players.
