We\u2019re already receiving booking inquiries for 2019, so the summer already looks busier than it was this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

CBHFM\u2019s Holiday Silent Auction starts November 14. New this year\u2026..all bidding will be done directly online. Stay tuned for details as over 50 items will be available.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was quite a week for us and Canadian baseball history in general: \u00a0Rob Thompson visited with Scott for a look at the Museum reno in progress and to chat about his first year as bench coach for the Phillies. Rob spoke very highly of Phillies starting pitcher\/Canadian Nick Pivetta<\/span>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Roy Halladay\u2019s son <\/span>Braden pitched 1 1\/3 hitless, scoreless innings for the Florida Burn Platinum as they beat Canes National 2-0 in final of an 88-team, 20th annual Perfect Game WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, Florida. (Thanks to Bob Elliott for this.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Also this week, Jim Baba, former head of Baseball Canada, was inducted into the Moose Jaw and District Sports Hall of Fame, a well-deserved honour, while Tom Henke was inducted into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame, established by our founder Bruce Prentice, and Joey Votto received the Ontario Hall\u2019s Syl Apps Award for Ontario Athlete of the Year 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>October 23 marked the 73rd anniversary of Jackie Robinson\u2019s signing with the Montreal Royals (Robinson died on October 24, 1972.). \u00a0The Toronto Blue Jays won their first world Series on October 24, 1992, downing Atlanta 4-3 in 11 innings. <\/span><\/p>\n

Last but not least, Joe Carter hit what MLB has called \u2018one of the greatest World Series home runs ever\u2019 to lead the Jays to their second World Series title on October 23, 1993. <\/span><\/p>\n

Inductee birthdays in November: \u00a03 – Paul Quantrill, 9 – George Wood, 13 – Pat Hentgen and Wayne Norton, 18 – Rocky Nelson, 27 – John Haar, 28 – Frank O\u2019Rourke.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hamilton, Ontario\u2019s Frank O\u2019Rourke spent more than 70 years around the diamond as a player, manager and scout. He was the youngest player in the National League when he debuted as a 17-year-old shortstop with the Boston Braves on June 12, 1912. After 61 games with the Beantown squad, he returned to the minors for four seasons. He would resurface in the big leagues as a third baseman with the Brooklyn Robins in 1917.<\/span><\/p>\n

After major league stints with the Washington Senators and Boston Red Sox, and two standout seasons with the International League\u2019s Toronto Maple Leafs, O\u2019Rourke starred with the Detroit Tigers. His finest big league season was in 1925, when he hit .293 and racked up 141 hits \u2013 including 40 doubles (fifth best in the American League). He suited up for his final five major league seasons with the St. Louis Browns, where he would knock in 62 runs in both 1928 and 1929. \u00a0Subsequently, he spent more than 30 years as a scout for the Yankees.<\/span><\/p>\n

A final reminder:<\/strong> We\u2019ll be at the 3rd annual Canadian Baseball History Conference on Saturday & Sunday, November 3rd and 4th at The Old Courthouse in London, Ontario with artifacts, merchandise and books. \u00a0Highlights of the conference include a recreation of the historical Beachville game in 1838 and a tour of Labatt Park, the oldest continually operating ball field in North America. Cost is $70. For further details, please click <\/span>ici<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Top of the Tenth is going to hunker down to watch the rest of the World Series now, with occasional updates throughout the winter. \u00a0As always, the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame thanks its donors, sponsors and volunteers for all they do for us. Next year should be spectacular!!<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
