Administrative history
Softball, and occasionally baseball, has been a pick-up or organized league sport within the Ottawa Jewish community since the early l900s. The strength of the sport depended on the suitable age categories for players and the available sponsors. Active periods include the 1950s with Minute Car Wash, I.G.A. (Independent Grocers Association), Budget Motor Sales and Koffman’s as sponsors; the mid 1970s with sponsors Cohen & Cohen, Nepean Motors, Yankel’s, Jewish Community Centre, B’nai B’rith and M. Levinson Salvage as sponsors; late 1980s with sponsors Minto Construction, Shores, Rivers, Cohen & Cohen, Regional Realty, Bakermet, Golden Palace & Fines Flowers, Mastercraft, Melting Pot, Ottawa Athletic Club, Pollack Personnel, Ron Engineering and Levinson-Viner. Howie Osterer has been a consistent leader and organizer of men’s softball for the past thirty years.
