2004 OBA's - The season comes to a close
Congratulations to the champions: Windsor Riverside - AAA Champs, Ajax Spartans - AA Champs and the Aurora Blue Jays A champs. Barrie played some exceptional baseball but was eliminated in the semi-finals. Barrie faced a very demanding schedule - playing three games on Saturday, one of which went to extra innings for a total of 23 innings in a day. The pitching was awesome for the whole tournament: Graham, Adam, Kory, Dane, Zach, Jacob, Branson all pitched exceptional giving up a combined 6 earned runs in 5 games (37 innings). The games featured some great clutching hitting, and there were many defensive highlights. In the end, Barrie advanced to the final day along with the three teams they had already played - previously defeating two of them. Barrie was also the only team in the final four not to have had a bye in the schedule. The boys also faced the task of playing three games back-to back-to back (Noon, 3PM and 6PM). The games were great and the boys left it all on the field playing their best.

The Barrie Red Sox congratulate last year's OBA Rookie Ball finalist, the Cambridge Cubs, who this season defeated the Oakville A's in the finals of the Ontario "AAA" championships. In "AA" action the Mississauga North Bengal's came from behind in the bottom of the 7th to defeat the Markham Mariners 8-7 and win the Ontario "AA" championship. Mississauga bounced Barrie earlier in the day in the tournament semifinal 12-4 bringing the Red Sox 2003 season to a close.
Import Classifications

YSBA has made changes to "Import Classifications". Basically, an "Import" is a player who resides outside the geographic boundaries of a Local Association who, for whatever reason, decides to play in another Local Association. "Import" quotas have been established to, for the most part, limit player movement and establish the maximum number of players who can play on a team from outside the geographic area. The maximum number of players that can play on a given rep team from outside the Local Association's boundries are as follows:
Rookie & Mosquito - 2
Peewee - 3
Bantam - 4
Midget - 5
Junior Unlimited
All players playing for a "Local Association" outside of their residencey area require a "Release" from the Local Association within which they reside.
This decision makes it difficult for a player from the areas surrounding the BMBA (i.e., Orillia, Angus, Alliston, Stayner, etc) to be able to play ball at a higher level. Previously the "Import" rules made it easier for a player to move to an Association that offered the opportunity to play ball at a higher level.
