  • Name George Edmondson MacBurnie 
    • He came to Hantsport in August of 1932, for what was supposed to be a two-week period, to pitch for the Hantsport Shamrocks. He resided in Hantsport until his death. Not only did he help the Shamrocks win that year, but for eight consecutive years until 1940, at which time the outbreak of war put an end to Nova Scotia baseball. During his eight-year career, he became known as a "sterling right-hander" and later as the greatest "Ironman" in the history of Nova Scotia baseball. During his life in Hantsport, he worked at Minas Basin Pulp & Power Co., Ltd.; a paving company, installing the road between Wolfville and Dice Hill; The Gypsum Company and the Fruit Company. Finally, following in his father's footsteps, he opened his own barbershop in 1934, which he continued to operate until retirement.
