Last but not least, Winnipeg is a proud CBL franchise in the smallest market of the original eight squads. The Goldeyes have had some success, winning six titles and having a streak of eight straight playoff appearances in the '80s and '90s. Jose Cienfuegos, who pitched ten years in Winnipeg, is widely considered the greatest pitcher in CBL history. He won six pitcher of the year awards as a Goldeye, with a 2.42 ERA with the team.
The logos and jerseys are of my making, based on the Goldeyes of the American Association. The stadium is a slightly modified version of Neilsoncp's Shaw Park.
