The 2012 Royals season proved to be one of the best in the storied history of Marysburg Senior baseball.  The Royals had a final record of 39-7.  They won the Big Moose Tournament, were poised to play the final at the Father's Day tourney before rain, went 21-3 and won the league pennant, finished second at provincials, and second in the league.  It was a fantastic season.  The future looks bright for this team as they are already looking ahead to next year.  A few thank yous that need to be handed out.  First and foremost - thank you to all the wives and the girlfriends for putting up with us all summer.  You truly do not realize how much we appreciate all of the support that you give us year after year.  We could not do it without you.  Thank you to Coach Timmer and Coach Wayne - it's harder coaching than playing and you guys kept your cool all year long.  Thank you to all of our fans for supporting us this year.  We had very good crowds in Marysburg all year long and it was amazing to see how many people travelled to Yorkton and to Saskatoon for provincials and playoffs.  We hope we provided you with some good entertainment.  Thank you to everyone who supported us and who came to our annual baseball camp in May.  It was once again a great success.  Thank you to Mosaic for supporting us financially this year and also to Sask Lotteries for giving us a MAP grant once again.  Thank you to all who helped in our concession in Marysburg this year.  The concession is a major reason we get as many fans as we do with all of the great food that is served.  I am not going to name them all in fear I might forget someone, but you all know who you are.  Thank you to Gord Kiefer, Riley Brockman, Fuzzy Wasserman, Joel Taphorn, Brian Jaeb, and Alan Yarskie for umpiring this year.  It is a thankless job that often goes overlooked and the games could not be played without you.  Thank you to all the players for the time and commitment you gave.  It sure is fun going to the park with such a good group of guys.  And finally last but certainly not least, thank you to Wayne and Noreen Strueby for everything that you do.  This team would not be in existence without these two people.  They do ALL of the behind the scenes work that no one notices and is overlooked.  We would not be able to field a team without all that you do.  Looking forward to 2013!
