#OTD in 1934 the Chatham Coloured All-Stars became the first all-Black team to win a provincial Ontario Baseball Association championship. The Breaking the Colour Barrier team has created a fantastic website about this significant history. cdigs.uwindsor.ca/BreakingCo…

Only playing as a team for seven years, they made a lasting impression during a difficult and hostile time for Black Canadians. They forged ahead despite the barriers, leaving baseball immeasurably enriched by all they had overcome.⚾
