“On Account of Darkness: the Summer Ontario Baseball Broke the Colour Barrier,” re-creates the historic and dramatic 1934 season in which Ontario integrated the game over a decade before Major League Baseball. Using newspaper and first-hand accounts, On Account of Darkness takes readers from the season opener to the controversial final series.
“Severn Sound: A Big Leaguer Comes to Port McNicoll,” tells the real-life story of defending National League batting champ and future Hall of Famer Chick Hafey’s visit to a small waterside Ontario town in the middle of the 1932 season to recuperate from illness. It’s a story about friendships, Great Lakes passenger ships, and about baseball.
Both are available on Amazon, and most ebook platforms.
