Part history, part memoir, part statistical analysis, this book
tells the remarkable and largely forgotten story of how the
baseball hotbed of Canada's northeastern Maritime provinces evolved
into "NCAA North" during the 1940s and 1950s. A summer training
ground for players from leading U.S. college programs, the region
attracted talented players seeking higher salaries than they could
get in the American minor league system. Major league organizations
came to scout blue-chip prospects. In this competitive environment,
only the best were able to crack the rosters of town teams in Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick and Maine. A Quality of Competition Index for
various northeast leagues provides major league equivalencies for
selected players.
