A pennant and league championship in his first try as a manager only happens when one possesses cre­ dentials such as pitching experience in profe~sional baseball a_nd more than 15 years in the Intercounty combined with a keen eye for detail, an overall know­ ledge of baseball and a deep love of the game. These attributes and the respect of his players made last years team a "fun" group and worthy champions. Roy's one disappointment was failing to win the O.B.A. championship and this gets top priority for the 1970 AVCOS. Roy and baseball-fan wife Ruth are proud parents of three children with son Alex being one of the AVCO batboys. GOOD LUCK AVCOS Mario's Pizzaria OPEN 10:30 A.M. 'TIL 2:00 A.M.

Signing his first "Pro" contract in 1954 with Boston, Bob soon becam~ a New York Yankee farmhand and advanced through their system stopping at Birmingham, Winston-Salem and Quincy. In 1957, while an Eastern League All-Star at Binghampton he teamed with future Yankee Clete Boyer to lead the league in double plays. While playing with Richmond in the International League the next year he suffered the painful thumb injury that ended his career. Married, with a pair of sons, Bob is a fireman.

Missing from picture: Brian Murphy, Rick Birmingham, Barry Boughner. 1969- A YEAR TO REMEMBER The last year of the Pontiacs saw the locals commence with a fine game winning streak and then finish just as strongly to win the pennant with a 23-5 record. A four game sweep of the semi-finals sidelined Lis­ towel and then the exciting three game lead over Stratford evapourating into a seventh and deciding game won by the men of Roy McKay 7-5. London's first Ontario Baseball association quest in a number of years found an easy time disposing of Leaside Maple Leafs, Halton County champions, in straight games, and the losing in the Ontario finals to Orillia Majors 3 games to 2 - OBA rules call for any game played after September 15th being played in daylight and all three Orillia wins were of the daylight variety. Dave Moharter, Brian Murphy and Rick Birmingham were the aces of the pitching staff winning 19 of the 23 games. When playoff time rolled around, Moharter had returned to school and made only "flying" visits back to London, while Murphy was given special permission by Los Angeles Kings to leave training camp to play in three important games. The load fell on Birmingham and the tall righthander came through. Londoners on the League All-Stars were Ty Crawford and Dave Moharter on the first team with Brian Pearen, Arden Eddie, Wayne Fenlon and Rick Birmingham on the second team. Birmingham, Murphy and Pearen were important cogs in Ontario's winning the Baseball Championship at the Canada Summer Games in Halifax. 1969 -A year to Remember.

Generally regarded as the league's finest fielding first-sacker, Whitey's a consistent hitting threat and is especially tough with men on base. He's always high in all-star voting - third last year - five votes from first. Whitey is team captain, player representative to the Directors as well as being a busy teacher, husband, and since last season, father.

Blossomed into the team leader last season as the real "take charge guy". Led team (second in league) in batting with .375 average, led team (second in league) in hits with 36 and finally gained much deserved recognition as the 2nd team all-star catcher. Undoubtedly London's pitching record the last two years can be attributed to Wayne's knowledge of league's hitters. He's still single. 11 INTERCOUNTY STATISTICS - 1969 FINAL STANDINGS - 1969 Teams PL Won Lost AVG GBL London ·························· 28 23 5 .821 Kitchener .... ················ 28 19 9 .679 4 ' Hamilton ....................... .. 28 16 12 .571 7 Lis towel ........................ 28 14 14 .500 9 Stratford ························ 28 13 15 .464 10 Galt .... ........... ··········· 28 12 16 .429 11 Guelph ...... ······ 28 10 18 .357 13 Toronto .... .. ........... 28 5 23 .178 18 BATTING LEADERS - 1969 Name Team AB R H 2b 3b HR RBI AVG 1-McKillop-Kit. ................ 84 23 32 6 2 4 28 .381 2-Fenlon-Lon. ................ 96 18 36 8 2 2 19 .375 3-Crawford-Lon.

Disappointments were many. Fan support was not as great as we had hoped, but the team didn't do as well as was expected. One thing can be said for certain, it wasn't a dull season. Most games were filled with exciting plays, good hitting and close scores. We had one of the greatest pitchers of modern baseball on our team. He never let his team mates or the management down at any time and probably played his last game of baseball here at Labatt Park. No matter what others may say of this man I know of no one in this city who can say anything but a sincere thank you, for you always gave your very best ... Dennis Dale Mclain.
