MIKE RODRIGUES Hometown: Tijuana, Mexico Residence: London As a youth Mike lived only a stone’s throw away from Labatt Park, a geographical point-of-interest which probably played a part in his love for baseball. A pitcher by trade, Mike aids manager McKay in controlling the Majors pitching ranks.

BARRY WHITE Coach Barry is new to the coaching ranks for the Majors, but not new to baseball in London. A solid sports back­ ground in baseball and hockey dating back to the early ’50s when he chased bats for the Majors, Barry’s knowledge and enthusiasm will be most welcome in 1984.

Page 7 FERGIE JENKINS Ht. 6'6" Wt. 210 Hometown: Chatham Residence: Bleinham Without picking up a baseball again Fergie Jenkins has already secured himself a place in Baseball’s Hall of Fame. The players and fans of the Intercounty League are very fortunate to have a player of his stature to learn from and applaud. Thanks Fergie!

JON OWEN Ht. 6’2” Wt. 195 Hometown: Liverpool, Eng. Residence: London The Majors’ pitching leader in three important cate­ gories last season: wins 6; pitched 283; 48. In addition to Jon’s , batters must also contend with his famed ‘fork ball’, a pitch taught to him by MacComb, Mississippi hurler Billy Wallace.

MIKE PATTERSON Ht. 6’ Wt. 175 Hometown: Dorchester, Ont. Residence: London This hard throwing sidewinder is the Majors best two- way pitching asset. Not only one of the league’s finest relief , Mike is also a solid starting pitcher. Second only to Jon Owen in innings pitched for the Majors last year, Mike is a durable individual who seems to improve as his workload increases.

STEVE GOMOLA Ht. 6'2” Wt. 190 Hometown: Grand Rapids, Mich. Residence: London Returning to the pitching staff for a second year, the Majors are looking for a good season from this native. Although registering only 2 decisions in ’83 due to an injury, his fine ERA helped to keep Lon­ don’s cumulative total the lowest in the league.

A high school teacher at Parkside Collegiate in St. Thomas, Tom enjoys his freedom to play ball during the summer.

DAVE BYERS Ht. 6'3" Wt. 210 B-L T-R Hometown: Dorchester, Ont. Residence: London 1983’s Inter-County All-star shortstop returns to the Majors again in ’84. Dave’s ability to combine average and power at the plate make him one of the greatest offensive threats in the London lineup. On the field, his fiery determination help lead the way for both rookies and veterans.

ALEX McKAY B-L, T-R Ht. 6’Wt. 180 Hometown: Thamesford Residence: London Al is returning for his 10th year as a London Major, he’ll be taking a rare holiday in the summer this year as he and Melissa, the southern belle he swooned north after their university days, are tying the proverbial knot in mid-July. Best wishes to you both.

CHUCK WESTMAN Ht. 6’Wt. 165 B-R, T-R Hometown: Iona Station Residence: London 1984 will be Chuck’s second year with the Majors. He is an adept outfielder whose speed should provide some base running excitement.

SHAWN BROGEN S-L.T-R Ht.6’, Wt. 160 Hometown: Kalamazoo Residence: London Shawn’s baseball enthusiasm adds a refreshing touch to the Majors clubhouse. Shawn hopes to pursue his baseball ambitions through an American college next year.

Page 40 Page 41 WAYNE FENLON Wt. 6’ Wt. ? B-L T-R Hometown: London, Ont. Residence: Ridgetown Many of London’s pitching successes overthe past 15 years can be directly attributed to catcher Wayne Fenlon, and it hasn’t been any accident. Four managers over this time span have found #9 to be their choice behind the dish. Still an excellent hitter and great teacher, the Majors are extremely lucky to have ‘THE DOG’ on their side this year.

ARDEN EDDIE T-L B-R Ht. 6’ Wt. 190 Hometown: Wallceburg Residence: London Working just as hard off the field as he does during a game, Arden is known as ‘Steinbrenner’ around the Majors' clubhouse. Dedication to the constant improve­ ment of the London Majors has proven to be a very tax­ ing but rewarding experience. Best of luck in '84 Arden, both on and off the field.

JOHN FARAGHER Ht. 6’ Wt. 180 T-L B-R Hometown: Uranium City Residence: London Hard-hitting Faragher is also a versatile fielder in this, his second season with the Majors. In addition to his outfield duties, he can also pitch and play first base. John also holds the London & District Baseball record forthe longest home run; some445ft. on June14,1981 against Arva.

LARRY HAGGITT B-L T-R Ht. 6’ Wt. 220 Hometown: Rip City Residence: Leamington Larry is a solid left-handed hitter who rarely gets cheated on his swings when he ‘digs in’ at home plate. On the infield, Larry picks up the toughest throws with no apparent effort making everyone look good.
