24 - The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday June 28, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com Campbell emcees Baseball Hall of Fame ceremony It seems Oakville native Jamie Campbell just can't get enough baseball. The Rogers SportsNet television play-by-play voice of the Toronto Blue Jays is getting a rare day off today (Saturday) as CBC televises the Jays' game against the Atlanta Braves. So, instead, Campbell is in St. Marys today to emcee the 2008 Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Tony Fernandez, Billy Harris, Gladwyn Scott and Peter Widdrington are being welcomed Jamie Campbell into the Hall of Fame today, a ceremony that begins at 11:30 a.m. "My love of baseball developed at a time when only a handful of Canadians made it to the big leagues, so they became an immediate source of pride for a teenager from Oakville," Campbell said. Campbell grew up playing Little League baseball at Wallace Park, when his favourite players included Bob Bailor, Jesse Barfield, George Brett and Lyman Bostock. The Oakville Trafalgar High School grad is in his fourth season of Jays' play-by-play duties. STRAIGHT A'S: The Oakville A's won four one-run games to claim the championship at a recent major baseball tournament in Stratford. Four tight wins lift senior A's to title Four consecutive one-run victories lifted the Oakville major (senior) A's to the championship at a baseball tournament in Stratford earlier this month. Three of those wins came in one day, as the A's overcame humid weather and a short bench to down Dundas 5-4 in eight innings, edge Martingrove 4-3 in eight innings and shade Strathroy 3-2. Oakville then scratched out a 1-0 victory over Strathroy in the final, led by a near-complete game effort by Julian Richards. "The guys played hard and did everything that was asked of them," said A's head coach Dave Smallhorn, who had only a 13-player roster to work with during the tournament. "We faced some tremendous pitching and overcame it. The players never doubted themselves or me, and most of the moves we made worked out." Also contributing to the championship were Matt Chisamore, Alex Hawley, Gord Robertson, Andrew Kotulak, Steve Williamson, Carter Buchanan, Derek Pogue, Matt Griffin, Adam Granlund, James Bateman, Courtney Morales and Jeff Jarockis.
