To Canales, baseball is more than just a sport — it is an opportunity to instill sportsmanship and unity, and teach youngsters important life lessons. 
 
"I've coached Little League in Williamstown. I coached Little League in North Adams. I've coached Babe Ruth and I coach varsity baseball at McCann Technical High School for over 25 years," said Canales, also McCann School Committee member. "I've been into baseball a lot. I just enjoy working with kids. It's my life working with kids."
 
His La Festa Baseball Exchange has used baseball to connect North Adams with Boston for the past 33 years. 
 
Canales has collaborated with his friend John Romano of the North End Athletic Association to provide North County ballplayers the opportunity to play against The Hub's squad and give the big city kids a chance to visit the rural Berkshires.
