EIBF Unveils World Junior Logo

The official logo for the 2008 World Junior AAA Baseball Championship was unveiled today by the Edmonton International Baseball Foundation.

The striking logo, designed by Edmonton-born Dennis Porfon, an art instructor at the Art Gallery of Alberta, was selected in a design competition attracting more than 50 entries from across Alberta.

The 12 country event will attract the best 18 and 19 year-old players in the world to Edmonton from July 25 to August 3, 2008. Telus Field will be the major venue for the 46-game schedule, with other games slated for John Fry Park and possibly Legion Park in St. Albert.
