Whether you're a season ticket holder or have never seen the inside of a ball diamond, the Weyburn Beavers Baseball Club is inviting the whole community to pack the park at Thursday night's game against the Saskatoon Berries.
The excitement stemmed from a special guest joining the stands, Sportsnet Central baseball analyst Jamie Campbell took a hiatus from the Toronto Blue Jays to take in some summer college ball action.
«As most people know, Jamie Campbell was here with John Axford earlier in the year for our sports dinner and at that time, he had talked about the summer of 2024 when he made a trip through Alberta and went to a couple ballgames. And he said, 'I think in 2025, I'm going to make a trip to Saskatchewan'. He texted me here and said that Weyburn was on the list of stops that he was going to make.»
This appearance coming not long after Campbell sported the Weyburn Beavers logo during a Canada Day broadcast, Hansen says the support and visibility could go a long way for the team.
«You get a national figure like Jamie Campbell trying to help you out, really appreciate that. We're hoping the community comes out and supports us and puts on a good show. And maybe he'll talk about us in one of the future broadcasts of the Blue Jays.»
