Inductees | 1946 Simcoe Reformer Cubs

The 1946 Reformer Cubs, Simcoe's first OBA championship team, was comprised of young men who had never played baseball before.  They nevertheless defeated Tillsonburg, Ingersoll, Hespler, Grimsby and Petrolia before meeting Milton in a best-of-three series for provincial honors.

The teams entered game 3 with the series tied after a 6-2 victory by Milton in game 1 and a 5-1 Cubs victory in game 2.  Milton struck first and led 1-0 at the end of the second inning.  But a 9 run outburst in the third, when the Cubs sent 13 batters to the plate, sealed the OBA Junvenile B and InterCounty Junvenile B championship for the Cubs.

Simcoe's Doug King, an individual inductee in the Hall of Recognition, fashioned an impressive 3-hitter with 12 strikeouts and belted a grand slam to lead the Cubs to victory.  But as the score indicates, everybody contributed offensively and defensively, with Ron McIntosh being credited with an outstanding catch in right field.
