Harry Bartley, Jim Brown and Rick McCaw doffed uniforms for many St. Thomas-London area teams including St. Thomas Western Memorials, Empires, Pest Control and Durston Pools as well as the famed London Dukes and Cable TV and competed in the Memorial, Ontario-Michigan and Hamilton Big Four leagues, OASA and Canadian championships. The trio shared several Memorial League championships, were part of the 1967 host Champions St. Thomas for the Ontario Eliminations, and two of them travelled to Winnipeg for the 1970 Canadians with London Cable TV. All were noted for excellence in their defensive positions, and were “tough outs” in the heart of the batting order. Awesome in their own right, and mildly comparable to MLB Yankees’ “Murderers Row”, all three held great respect for pitchers Detroit’s Bonnie Jones , Reno Patenuzzi and southpaws Pete Landers and Brad Underwood as tough combatants.
