Patrick Scalabrini talks about Quebec experience
which helps him recruit players from outside who hear about the fervor of baseball amateurs in the region.
During the matches, it is very intimidating for the opposing teams to arrive here because our stadium is old, yes, but it is extremely noisy. Supporters make a ton of noise, they knock on the seats and all that.
Tickets for Friday’s match were on sale at 9 a.m. Monday morning. After 25 minutes, there were almost no more tickets left!
