Mid-Western Manitoba Baseball League
A loose association of three teams, the 1946 Mid-Western Manitoba Baseball League had a short schedule in which member clubs played semi-regular games against each other yet kept sufficient open dates for exhibition and tournament action which seemed to be a priority.
