The tiny hamlet of Giroux has been famous for baseball teams for generations. It fielded a Senior-caliber team for 44 years. Another indication of enthusiasm is that from 1988 through 1992 the Giroux Athletics “Twilight” team won four Manitoba Twilight championships and three Western Canadian championships. Special recognition should go to the Seidler brothers Roy, Wayne, and Brian, who were the key organizers of this club. This is the first Twilight team inducted into the Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame.
