Whit Meredith to be inducted into Manitoba Hall of Fame
Whit Meredith known as Scrap Iron and the strong arm of southwestern Manitoba baseball will be inducted as a player in the Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame on June 6 1998. Meredith starred for Glenboro and Brandon Greys in the 1920s earning newspaper headlines for strikeout records no hit games and clutch pitching feats. He later farmed and worked for Manitoba Pool Elevators before passing away in 1988 and is remembered by family and fans as a quiet yet respected figure whose legacy is preserved by Stan Oleson's Hall of Fame work.
