It is extremely dif- ficult just to make the playoffs in the American Association, let alone winning a championship. Winning two in a row and three over the last six years is a testament to the hard work and commitment to excellence from every person within the organization.” Mayor Bowman noted the Winnipeg Goldeyes ball club is
an exemplary community organization who adds to the vi- brancy of the community in many ways outside of the ballpark through their programs such as the Community Zone, the Field of Dreams Foundation as well as mascot appearances at various events in the community throughout the season. Te signs will remain in place for the next five years, after
which, they will be donated to the Goldeyes’ organization. Te Goldeyes open the 2018 season in May and will be cel- ebrating their 25th year.
