Description

Baseball has been an essential strand in Edmonton's social fabric. This "bush league" town was also the source of considerable major-league talent in the early decades of this century. The Rajah of Renfrew surveys the arrival and development of baseball in western Canada, and John Ducey's role in bringing professional ball to the prairies.
