A new era of Barrie Baycats baseball has finally started.
The team is playing in the recently renamed Canadian Baseball League, which is now a fully professional circuit.
And that was on full display in the Baycats’ season opener against the Toronto Maple Leafs, who fielded disgraced former MLB All-Star Yasiel Puig.
Puig, who is preparing for sentencing in the U.S. in a high-profile sports gambling case, was held hitless by the Baycats, who walked away with a dominant 6-1 win.
But the Baycats would stumble in Game 2 on the road against London, falling 4-2.
Next up is a home game tonight against Welland.
