IBL Announces 2005 Schedule
The Intercounty Baseball League today announced the schedule of games for the 2005 regular season.
The schedule kicks off on Saturday May 7 when the Guelph Royals begin defence of their league championship against the Oshawa Dodgers. The Hamilton Thunderbirds and Toronto Maple Leafs host games on Sunday May 8 before a full slate of contests during the weekend of May 14-15. The 162 game schedule concludes on Sunday July 24.
"We are very excited about the 87th season of the Intercounty Baseball League," said IBL Commissioner Jim Rooney. "The IBL provides fans of this great game with an opportunity to watch it live at the grassroots level. The talent coming back for 2005 is very deep and we are looking forward to welcoming our fans back to the ballpark in 2005.
"We are also pleased to welcome Mel Oswald as our new partner in Hamilton. Mel has spent a lifetime in the game of baseball and we look forward to his participation in expanding the IBL's tradition in Hamilton with the Thunderbirds."
The Guelph Royals will host the IBL All-Star Classic at David Hastings Field on July 9. As defending league champs, the Royals will face a team of IBL All-Stars in the special event.
