Jasper Slow Pitch League organizer John Pelosi said the sounds of families and kids rooting for their favourite squads made the final weekend all the more successful.

The Bongs have the distinction of being the oldest athletic association in Alberta. In that time, they have acquired more C-cups than Fruit of the Loom. // Supplied
“Big thanks to the town’s grounds department for taking such good care of the ball diamonds all season long,” Pelosi said.
