They called him the "Peerless pitcher from Penetanguishene" in recognition of the fact that in the 1940's he was the best Canadian born pitcher playing in big league __ professional baseball in the United States. In 1947 Phil piled up an amazing 19 wins to go against nine losses and was considered the best pitcher for the American League . Philadelphia Athletics who had finished in fifth place that season. And ier Penetanguishene _ there was no doubt that Mar- childon, who could command a salary of $15,000 for throwing a baseball, was the best athelete the town had ever produced. Phil "Babe" Mar- childon first became a Canadian sports sen- sation in 1942, after his strong right arm had rocketed him from the bush leagues in Northern Ontario to Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics, where he won 17 games as a 29-year-old rookie. However, the early 1940's was not the time to be playing baseball. Marchildon joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and was shot down over Germany on his 27 mission as a gunner. Five years after the war, Marchildon was back in Philadelphia to be greeted by 35,000 fans -- 10 times the number who usually turned out for the hapless team. In the next two years Marchildon won 13 and 19 games but his 19 game winning season was to be his last winning year in the big leagues. What doctors referred to as a delayed reaction from his war experiences finally caught up with the "Babe'"' in 1948. His major league career ended in a case of chronic bad nerves, loss of pitching control and consignment to a series of ever-lower minor league clubs. Today, "Babe" Mar- childon is a 60-year-old father of two who owns a house in Etobicoke and still works in the Toronto hospital bed factory where he's been happily employed for the past 15 years.
