Never been to Alberta and it was the first time looking at it on a map.

I am familiar with Calgary and Edmonton because of professional hockey. As an Angel fan in baseball, Edmonton was their triple A affiliate and I was very surprised to see how far north the city is.

From the map I get the impression that it would be too cold to play baseball there, except for a couple of months in the summer.

Barry's Response - The Koppen Climate classification for both these cities would be Dfb, which would roughly mean good ball playing weather can be expected for about 5 months out of the year (May to September), after which frosty nights and cool (or cold) days normally occur.
