In the summer of 1932, Cincinnati Reds Manager Dan Howley sent his star slugger, Chick Hafey, to recuperate from a nasty bout of influenza and to escape a brutal Midwest heatwave. Hafey and his wife Bernice traveled to Port McNicoll, Ontario, a Great Lakes grain, passenger, and freight shipping hub. The Hafeys stayed at the home of Jim Shaw, an old fishing buddy of Howley's from his days managing the minor league Toronto Maple Leafs.

In the two weeks Hafey spent in the small Georgian Bay town, he rediscovered his health, and went on to play in more games over the next two seasons than he did at any other point in his career.
