Biographie
The word « Dynasty » has been applied to Les Canadiens, the Yankees and the Celtics.It should also be applied to the 1951 to 1954 junior baseball teams from Lewisville, N.B. which were sponsored by Moncton businessman Jack Keefe and coached by Eugene “Foggy” Boudreau. Some say that “they were the greatest ever”; major league baseball must have concurred since its teams signed no less than seven Keefe players to try-out contracts. It is unfortunate that the National Championships didn’t exist at that time.If they had, we could have added a number of such titles to the 4 New Brunswick, 3 P.E.I. and 2 Maritime championships they garnered in their four-year domination of Junior baseball. Most of them remained in the Moncton area where they continue to make significant contributions to all aspects of community life, - - including their sport of baseball. Enrolled in the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame, June 4, 1989.
