An ambassador, builder, and trail blazer for baseball in Saskatchewan. Rest easy, Jim Baba.

It is with great sadness we announce that Jim Baba has passed away at the age of 69.

Jim was very proud to have been from Saskatchewan and he was our former Baseball Sask Director of Operations until he moved on to Baseball Canada.

We have lost an absolute baseball legend at the Saskatchewan, Canada and International levels.

All of our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, Penny and his children and grandchildren.

RIP Babs
