Willie Berezinski was a player who started senior baseball at 16 years old with Binscarth, excelled with the Buffaloes, Orioles, Holar All Stars (Sk.) and the Dauphin Redbirds. Willie was a great power hitter and a good pitcher in his younger days. He won first Manitoba senior Baseball league batting crown in 1961 with a .549 average. Willie consistently hit over .333 with the Redbirds in M.S.B.L. and was known as a quiet, humble good sportsman who now lives at Port Alberni, B.C. He singled to spoil southpaw Bill Cundiff’s (St. Lazare) bid for a no hitter. Willie Berezinski was inducted into the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003 with the Holar All Stars.
