About Jesse Caron: The Caron family was heavily involved in baseball along with their two sons, Cody and Jesse. Unfortunately, we lost Jesse to a tragic accident shortly after high school. The family sponsored this tournament in Jesse’s name to promote sportsmanship and a love of the game that was so important to their family.

Message from the Division Manager:

As we enter our final tournament to wrap up the season, I just want to say a big thank you to all the coaches, team managers and volunteers who have helped make this a fun and successful season of baseball. Thank you to the players for all your hard work and dedication, and for representing Ladner Minor Baseball with pride - best of luck to everyone!
