Labatt Park

Labatt Park
Labatt Park (called Tecumseh Park in 1877) is possibly the oldest continuously used ballpark in the world. The London Tecumsehs ball club formed in about 1868 and started to play at the park when it was built in 1877.  The London Tigers (affiliated with the Detroit Tigers) played at Labatt Park from 1989 to 1993. It is currently home to the London Majors who play in the Intercounty Baseball League.

This illustration is one of the images used on the Painting Blackfriars map for next weekends event. For more information, see article in The London Yodeller.
