GREAT WORK WINNIPEG

What fun for the Winnipeg Goldeyes! This banner Northern League franchise has auctioned off for an entire team of locals to play a full nine-inning exhibition game against the Goldeyes May 12 with part of the $3,101 from the winning bid going to the team's Field of Dreams Foundation.

What impresses me most is that since the Foundation was started in 1995 the Goldeyes have raised more than $800,000 for children's charities in Manitoba.

This has to be one of the great success stories for an Independent Baseball organization. Congratulations!
