STORY

The 1959-1964 Hamiota Red Sox were Central Manitoba Baseball Association champions once, co-champions another time with the Brandon Cloverleafs (1959), and finalists in 1960. The Red Sox were Manitoba Senior Baseball League (MSBL) pennant winners in 1961, 1962, and 1964. They were also MSBL champions in 1962, 1963, and 1964. The team won the prestigious Birtle July 1st tournament for eight consecutive years form 1955-1962. The Hamiota Red Sox of this time were an excellent young team managed by Gladwyn Scott and Lorne Caldwell. Unlike most teams of the time, they had no out-of-province imports.
