The Stellarton Albions were one of the best baseball teams ever produced by the Halifax & District League. Coached by Bill Brooks, the Albions won three titles in succession in the strongest era of baseball Nova Scotia has ever seen. The roster was dotted with future major leaguers from American college ball, such as Gair Allie, with powerful sluggers like Joe Fulgham and crafty pitchers like Don Woodlief. The team also included top-notch Nova-Scotia-born talent such as Brother MacDonald and Sid Roy.
