Sabrowski wins Rawlings glove

1B Eric Sabrowski  (Edmonton, Alta.) of the St. Albert Cardinals and the Prospects Academy won the Canadian Baseball Network #OurHomePlate contest with the above photo of the Academy team taking the field … to earn a new glove.

With the Blue Jays home opener in our rear view mirror, and the season in full swing our baseball fix is finally being filled.

The Canadian Baseball Network partnered with Rawlings to stage a contest encouraging baseball fans to share their photos and tag them with #OurHomePlate. We saw so many amazing entries from every aspect of the game- the fans, the players, the training camps, the fields and the future stars.
