I have to say that I know very little about baseball teams outside of MLB, so I'm quite pleased to hear that there are a few teams still playing in Canada. I'm also hopeful that my two home towns will get CAL teams! Next season, I promise to make it out to see the Vancouver Canadians! Thanks for your comments Toby!

But, things have fallen on the hard time as of late. As to the Can-Am League, they already have one team in Canada -- playing in Quebec City. When I spoke with Miles Wolff, commissioner of the Can-Am League, last November he said that the biggest obstacle to putting a team in Montreal was getting a new baseball stadium built. I've got an e-mail into him for an update on the status in Montreal. I'm guessing that in 2008, there will two new Can-Am League teams in Canada. There are two Northern League teams in Canada as well. Winnipeg Goldeyes lead the league in attendence, while their counterparts in Calgary Vipers are dead-last -- but the team just today committed to having a team in the city for next year.
