Beloved Lethbridge umpire Mitchell Ball died Saturday morning after spending two weeks on a ventilator with COVID-19.
LETHBRIDGE, ALTA. -- Ask anyone who was lucky enough to know what Mitch Ball was all about, and you'll get the same answer over and over again. "Mitch will be remembered for his big heart, his sense of humour and his ability to bring positivity into a room. He just was such a positive person," said his wife of 25 years Jana Ball. Jana and Mitch have eight kids, including two foster children. He died in hospital Saturday morning, after spending two weeks on a ventilator due to COVID-19. It's difficult to describe Ball's impact on the sports community in southern Alberta.
