The inaugural 2026 Canadian Baseball League (CBL) season opens today (10 May) with the Kitchener Panthers visiting the Toronto Maple Leafs Baseball Club at Dominico Field. Among the players on the diamond will be my favorite right fielder, Yasiel Puig! (The Leafs signed the ex-Dodgers star last month.) Although Puig was found guilty earlier this year on trumped-up federal charges of obstruction of justice and false statements (remember James Comey’s vindictive prosecution of Martha Stewart?) and is still awaiting sentencing, I am confident he will be exonerated on appeal.
