Robert Alan Faith of Lafleche, Sask. and Kindersley native Garry Anderson will be inducted into the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame in Battleford on August 19.
Faith began playing baseball at age seven in Garrick, Sask. In 1969, he attended a Major League Baseball camp in Oliver, B.C., where he was scouted and selected to play at Bellevue College in Washington State. Faith preferred to play baseball everyday rather than go to the big leagues and likely warm the bench, and also said it was his base running that cost him the chance as an MLB first baseman.
After going to university, Faith played baseball with the Prince Albert Teramatics in the Western Canada Junior Baseball League and then spent time in the North East Saskatchewan Baseball League, the Torch River Baseball League, Manitoba Baseball Leagues, and the North Central Baseball League between 1972 and 1983.
He also played with the Edam Blue Sox in the North Central Baseball League for 10 years, winning four provincial titles on two occasions.
