More about Earl F. (Peg) Hurst:
Born in Oshawa 13 days before Christmas in 1911, Earl (Peg) Hurst advanced through the minor ranks in Oshawa and was on the Oshawa General Motors team which won the Central Ontario Baseball League Championship in 1936. He was also a "triple threat" as president-manager-player with the Oshawa team which captured the Inter-City Baseball League title in 1940. That season, "Peg" became the first winner of the Tony Lazzeri Trophy as the leagues most valuable player. Lazzeri, a graduate of the great New York Yankees organization, was manager of the International Leagues Toronto Maple Leafs at that time. Hurst was also on a pair of provincial championship teams in the sport of softball as a member of the Mikes Place juniors in 1931 and the Oshawa Colts in 1943. "Peg" became an Ontario Hockey Association referee and officiated two games at the 1949 Memorial Cup junior (Canadian) championships.
