Harold’s rare softball talents energized crowds and communities. The seven years from 1928 to 1935, Harold or “Googs” as he was fondly known, emerged as the ace pitcher with the Elites. And later with the Uneeda’s of the Winnipeg Senior Men’s Diamond Ball League. On July 17, 1929, he allowed 3 hits in 11 innings to defeat the Young Men’s Hebrew Association (YMHA); on June 8, 1932 he struck out 13 in 7 innings, and 10 days later, struck out 13. In 1935, he pitched a no-hitter and a I hitter. He pitched in 4 all-star games. An exciting pitching ace.
