Ian Wilson

Born and raised in Alberta, Canada, Ian Wilson got his first glimpse of professional baseball from the Medicine Hat Blue Jays of the Pioneer League in the 1980s. The odd road trip to Calgary opened his world to the Cannons and the Pacific Coast League. He completed his Bachelor of Arts in Journalism & Communications from the University of Regina in Saskatchewan and returned to Alberta, where he worked as a reporter and editor at the Calgary Sun newspaper for a decade. Through the years, a love of baseball remained constant. Despite any failings of players or those involved in the game, Ian considers it the perfect sport and one that is above reproach. It requires no clock, just the best that Mother Nature has to offer and willing competitors. These basic ingredients unlock the poetry that W.P. Kinsella revealed to the world — a reminder of all that once was good and can be again. Ian is the co-founder of and a frequent contributor to Alberta Dugout Stories and Saskatchewan Dugout Stories. He is also the media coordinator for the summer collegiate Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL).
