1974 All-Star Boy's (Harper Detroit Diesel)


Harper Detroit Diesel has been a 70’s sponsor in Alderwood and the teams under the coach Freddie Merritt would go on to win several tournaments. Harper Diesel moved into Alderwood in 1946 and started sponsoring about 1970.

1974 Alderwood teams would play other teams in Etobicoke for an Etobicoke Softball Trophy. If they won they could go on to be able to compete in the City or Metro Toronto Fastball Championships. It seems that they could win a city championship but still had to qualify for the Provincial Trophy. Fred Merritt would become one of the most decorated with several championships over the years of his coaching.
