Indoor ‘field of dreams’ living up to KMBA expectations
KAMLOOPS — On a perfect summer evening, the sun sets at McArthur Island. Yet the baseball diamond that’s usually home to the Kamloops Midget AAA Riverdogs is empty.
On this night, the team is practicing indoors at the Sussex Insurance Centre, a space for batting practice, a space to take ground balls, and just work on the fundamentals of baseball.
“It’s huge,” says Grade 12 Riverdogs player Vincent Daley. “You just look at other programs, and they don’t really have these opportunities to have a facility like this, so I really appreciate it.”
