Medicine Hat Blue Jays
December 8, 2018
Medicine Hat, Alberta’s 3,000-seat Athletic Park was the spring time destination for first and second year Toronto Blue Jays prospects for a quarter century between 1978 and 2002. When Medicine Hat joined the Pioneer League in 1977, the loop also featured teams in Calgary and Lethbridge. But in later years the Gas City became a remote outpost on the Pioneer League roster. After Calgary and Lethbridge left the league, Medicine Hat’s nearest rival was Great Falls, Montana, over four hours away.
