Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG), in partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB), is immortalising the 1934 Chatham Coloured All-Starsâthe first all-Black team to win an Ontario Baseball Association Championship in a very unique way. OLG and MLB are bringing the team's memory back to life through baseball's popular video game, MLB The Show 22. OLG and MLB wants to draw attention to the important story of these baseball legends allowing their memory to live on through the global baseball community's next generation. Using the game's team editor function, OLG's creative agency partner The Hive recreated the Chatham Coloured All-Stars using historical photos and team artifacts. Family members of the team's players, as well as the Black Historical Society of Chatham, were also consulted.
