      August 10, 1908 \endash February 3, 1952

      He was unquestionably the greatest hitter the Senior Intercounty Baseball Association ever saw, yet Gord Bradshaw, or Brad, as his friends called him, never got a big-league contract.

      In 1930 there was probably no better hitter in America than Gord Bradshaw of the Galt Terriers. He was 21 years old that summer, new to Galt, big, strong, and poised to hit .698. In the long and storied history of the Intercounty, no one has ever come close to that mark. Others have hit well; some have even hit over .400, but no one has threatened n Bradshaw's record...
