When you think of baseball you think hotdogs, warm summer afternoons, caps, cheers, and more often than not, America. However one of the most cherished baseball films of all time was actually based on a book written by a Canadian, who spent time bouncing between the Lower Mainland, and Iowa.

When we first heard of the tainted meat/listeriosis outbreak (and subsequent recalls) we were slightly concerned. Officially there are 21 confirmed cases [of listeriosis] across Canada, three in BC.
