Welcome to the 2009 Baseball season. Registration is officially starting today with early-bird league fees available until March 15, 2009.

Midget

The RY Midgets won the TBA Midget AA Championship defeating East York after previously eliminating North York.

This makes it 3 TBA Championships in a row for this team (Minor Midget AA in 2006, Midget A in 2007 and now Midget AA in 2008 ).

Minor Bantam

The RY Minor Bantam team won the TBA Minor Bantam A Championship last weekend.

Mosquito

The RY Mosquito team won the TBA Mosquito A Championship defeating North Toronto & Agincourt in the process.

Minor Mosquito

This year the Royal York Minor Mosquito took to the field with focus and determination. The team achieved “AA” raking by their regular season performance. For the TBA’s we played North Toronto. In the three game series, both teams won a game and in the third game at the end of seventh inning the score was tied 5-5. Unfortunately for the Cardinals in the bottom of the 8th inning NT drove in a run to win the game. This was the most competitive and exciting game the team had played all year and they should be congratulated for their performance in the TBA finals.

In addition, the team also played in the Ontario Provincials hosted in Stratford Ontario. The team played three amazing games before being eliminated.

Throughout the season, the team played phenomenal baseball and should be congratulated by being able to compete and win at the “AA” level.
