Official London Majors Press Release

LONDON - The London Majors are happy to announce the signing of infielder/outfielder Chris Mcqueen.

McQueen, a London native joins the team for his fifth season after taking 2019 off. McQueen has 80 career stolen bases so his speed should enhance the team’s offence and defence. A career .382 hitter, he brings a consistent bat to an already powerful lineup.

“What I love about playing for London is the ability to challenge myself and master my craft while showcasing the abilities that I have with the incredibly loyal fan base that surrounds us,” said McQueen.

“There truly is no better feeling than suiting up for your hometown team, it will always have a special place in my heart. Playing for Roop [Chanderdat] is something I always look forward to because he challenges you to be more than a better ball player but a better individual on and off the field. These values translate into life and those are lessons that I will forever be grateful for and carry with me for a very long time.”

“It’s great to have Chris back with the Majors,” added Chanderdat, the Majors co-owner and manager. “Chris is a very fast player and this helps him both on the bases and in the field defensively get to balls. He is versatile and can play middle infield and also centre field. With his strong work ethic and leadership, he will be a good addition to our team.”

The London Majors are a member of Canada’s top baseball league, the Intercounty Baseball League. The 100-year old summer league is one of the oldest baseball leagues in the world, with the league established in 1919, drawing significantly more fans, in a friendly ballpark experience, than any league of its kind.
