Over the weekend, longtime broadcaster Clayton Dreger was inducted into the Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame.

Dreger retired in January of this year and he says it's been everything he thought it would be. "Awesome," he says with that well known smile. "That's the word I've told everybody who's asked, it really is. When 7:30 p.m. rolled around and you knew that it was time to go to bed because the alarm goes off at 2:00 a.m. No, it's just so amazing to stay up till 11:30 and wake up at 6:50, plan your day, do whatever, yeah, it's been pretty special."
