HALIFAX & DISTRICT LEAGUE
Sal Ferrara (Truro) won the 1956 batting crown in his second year in the H&D League. Slugging Sal finished the season with a .345 mark, 13 points better than runner-up Jack Kubiszyn of the Liverpool Larrupers. Only five batters who had 150 or more at bats over the season in the select .300 circle. They were Barney Teliszewski, 321; Jack Rabbits, .312; defending champ Roger Rada .311; Nova Scotia native Stan (Chook) Maxwell, .308 and Charlie Mellen, .301.
First team All-American Neil Stinneford, a Maine native with Kentville, led in stolen bases with 11. Ferrara was the homerun king with 12 and Mellen followed closely with 11.
There were a number of outstanding pitching performances. Ken MacKenzie a standout at Yale, was the only 10 game winner with Truro. Teammate Moe Drabowsky was the league’s star in the first half of the season but signed a $60,000 dollar bonus contract with the Chicago Cubs and went directly to the big leagues in July. Other pitching leaders were Halifax’s (Spud) Murray 9-3; and Jack McGinley and Leo Parent at Stellarton, 9-5 and 8-2 respectively.
