More about Oshawa General Motors Senior and Junior Baseball Teams, 1936:
The Senior Team, GM-Men, played in the Central Ontario Baseball League and started the season by having Ken (Jake) Biddie set a league record by pitching a 17-0 no hitter, which included 19 strikeouts. In addition, C. H. (Moose) Matthews won the batting title, with teammate Doc Rowden, runner-up. The team won the Central Ontario Championship by defeating Kingston Ponies and continued on by defeating St. Catharines to win the Ontario Baseball Association Championship. Since the Junior Team had no league to play in, they participated in exhibition games against intermediate teams from Bowmanville, Pickering and Stouffville during that season. In the first round of the Provincial Playoffs Oshawa defeated Peterborough and in the second round they successfully ousted the Toronto Juniors. In the final, the Juniors went on to capture the Ontario Baseball Association Junior Championship with a victory over Windsor. It is certain that the 1936 season was a memorable one for baseball in Oshawa and indeed a tribute to the success of these two teams and their sponsor, General Motors.
