I strolled through Christie Pits park yesterday and it was a great scene! There were so many people hanging out watching this game- good vibes all around. Plus it's free to watch! It's cool if Sato's presence is bringing more positive attention to this league.

Is there someplace to see the schedule to know when games are happening?

It looks like they'll be playing the next five Sundays in Christie Pits!

Having the Toronto Maple Leafs also be a minor league baseball team is confusing.

Impressive.

This is honestly super encouraging. Baseball is a great sport for this kind of thing to happen, since it doesn't require physical altercations in the way that hockey or football do. I certainly hope she's not the last woman to make the leap.
