STORY

Over the five years from 1986 through 1990, the Hamiota Red Sox excelled in the Manitoba Senior Baseball League (MSBL). They won the league regular season pennant three times, they were league finalists four times, and they won two championships. Eleven players were named to a first all-star team during the five years. On four occasion the league’s top pitcher was from the Red Sox, on three occasions the play-off MVP, on one occasion the top hitter, and on one occasion the top rookie. In 1987 two players set all-time MSBL records. One was set by Randy Robertson for most stolen bases in a season (25), and the other was set by Donato Salinas, who had 13 consecutive wins. In 1989 the Red Sox also had the highest winning percentage of any MSBL pennant winner (.925).
