Five Ontario Nominees will be Inducted to Softball Canada Hall of Fame
(Ottawa, ON) - Softball Canada is pleased to announce
that Phyllis Bomberry (Athlete), Don Bracey (Official),
Gil Read (Builder), the 1949 Tip Top Tailors (Team) and
Darren Zack (Athlete) will be inducted into the Softball
Canada Hall of Fame in recognition for their contribution and excellence in the sport of softball across the country. The induction is scheduled for November 14, 2009.

Phyllis Bomberry (Athlete – Ontario), born in 1943 in Oshweken, Ontario, grew up playing softball in a time when there were no Canadian Championships, and once they were created, it was very difficult for women’s teams to qualify. Phyllis played in several world- class tournaments, most notably the Bulova Watch Tournament at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto where she had three (3) first-place finishes and two (2) second-place finishes. From 1967 to 1970, Phyllis was by far one of the best players in the country. In 1967, she won a Canadian Championship and was named All-Star Catcher, also collecting Top Batter and Most Valuable Player awards. The following year, she won her second straight Canadian Championship and once again was named All-Star catcher. In 1969, Phyllis became the first woman to win the Tom Longboat award (created in 1951) annually awarded to the most outstanding First Nations athlete. That same year, she won a Gold medal at the first Canada Games.
