We will now release our 1st Edition of the CABC Men's AAA Top 10 Rankings for the 2024 season. The list is meant to have some fun and grow the sport of baseball at the Men's AAA level.

 

This edition of the Top 10 Rankings will be a pre-season ranking of teams. Due ot the fact that a lot of teams are still in the midst of building their rosters for this year, this round will be based on regular season record from last year as well as results from provincial playoff tournaments. Due to this fact, I am sure there will be a lot of jockeying up and down for the first couple of weeks for the season. 

 

So ..lets get the fun rolling for the 2024 season!!
